30 5. In the framework of the European Union: a. Luxembourg will actively support implementation of the European Union’s Global Strategy for security and will contribute to the measures and structures designed to exploit the full potential of the Treaty of Lisbon as regards the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), particularly in the context of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), which is open to Member States committing to closer cooperation in the area of defence; b. Luxembourg will regularly participate in crisis management, advisory, assistance and training operations; c. Luxembourg will participate in the EU’s rapid reaction capability (EU Battle Groups). A substantial contribution will be envisaged at regular intervals, in principle every 4 or 5 years, taking into account the plans of our key partners; The operational level of ambition comprises the following elements, which will be detailed in the Defence Master Plan: 1. The responsiveness and speed of deployment of our forces will continue to improve, enhancing the credibility of our contributions to rapid-reaction force units. 2. In the context of defence planning within NATO, the maximum level of commitment planned for the Land Component of the Luxembourg armed forces is a force strength equivalent to the manning level of a company, sustainable for one year. That contingent will be integrated with the contributions of key partners, with a high level of interdependence in the area of support and sustainment. Affiliation arrangements will be developed with our key partners within the Framework Nations Concept. 3. In the context of operational engagements in crisis management and long-term deployments on a rotation basis, the maximum deployment capability for the Land Component is a platoon strength contingent. 4. The Luxembourg Defence will enhance its resources so as to be able to provide Staff-level reinforcements or specialized land and air capabilities or elements in its priority areas of action.
