support of civil authorities, and counterterrorism;
- immediate response capability force package - to avoid surprises and engage in lowintensity military actions, maintain integrity of Romanian airspace, integrated in the Extended
NATO Air Defense System, control over territorial waters, and for deterrence and reaction,
preparation to defend important objectives in strategic depth, and implementation of specific
actions according to NATO crisis response measures, at the national level;

The resources to accomplish missions and national military objectives include
personnel, financial, technological, scientific, materials, and other resources, which will be
allocated by the Government of Romania to ensure national defense as well as the fulfillment of
international commitments.
In the area of human resources the number of budgeted positions will remain constant
throughout the entire timeframe of implementation of the political agreement, i.e. 81,129, and
this stands at the basis of estimated personnel expenditures.
The starting point for level of financial resources is the budget approved for 2015 and a
gradual increase to reach the level of 2% of GDP in 2017 and maintain that level for the
following ten years, according to the National Political Agreement to Increase Defense
Spending. This level will allow for sustained multi-year budget planning of military spending in
order to ensure the predictability of procurement policies for modern combat equipment, and
for continued improvement of quality of life for military and civilian personnel.
At the same time, financial resources ensured through NATO or EU programs, projects
and initiatives will develop capabilities which support both the fulfillment of commitments
made to these organizations, and specific missions and tasks at the national level.
