Funkcionisu samo na papiru, o tome je pisano i u jednoj analizi koja je bila na temi o Ruskoj vojsci, a daje jako zanimljive podatke o evropskim snagama:
Citat:Regarding land forces, the balance is even more ambiguous. Europe has more combat forces than Russia. (The overall number of uniformed personnel is much higher in Europe than in Russia, but the figures include defence bureaucracy personnel, which Europe has a huge surplus of.) But what about readiness and training? European forces are scattered across 28 states. Some smaller NATO members,especially in Central Europe, have such small forces that they can hardly train them on their own in combined arms manoeuvre warfare. Furthermore, the long period of peace in Europe has led to an erosion of combat-readiness levels. European analysts rightly point out that, despite tremendous efforts to reform the Russian armed forces, only 65 percent of their new combat brigades are actually combat-ready, but they tend to forget that the European Defence Agency rated European land forces as 30.9 percent deployable (i.e. combat-ready) and 7.5 percent sustainable deployable.
While the figures were calculated differently and are difficult to compare, they point to a sensitive issue in European defence: many units in today’s European armies exist more on paper than in reality.
Under-staffing, lack of exercises, low combat-readiness, and the constant drain of men and equipment to other tasks (such as attending to natural disasters, peacekeeping, and humanitarian missions) have led to an erosion of the real combat strength of European land forces. If called to action, it would take months to repatriate personnel, fill ranks, get equipment combat-ready, and then deploy it to the theatre. If Russia instigated a crisis, it could bring its own forces to an increased level of combat-readiness beforehand, achieving numerical superiority again.
European armies in particular are not large enough to practise combined arms manoeuvre warfare on their own, still less to carry out larger joint operations. The air forces of smaller European militaries have become air-policing services at large, with little or no capabilities in other fields. And, as they have never been used for expeditionary warfare, they have not trained to take part in a major air campaign alongside allied comrades.
After 25 years of peace in Europe, many of the human skills needed for the conduct of a major conventional land war in the region have vanished with the personnel that retired after 1989. This is not only true for fighting personnel. The entire administrative and logistical apparatus necessary to support major military operations in Eastern Europe would have to be rebuilt from scratch.

U principu sve gore napisano se moze primeniti i na nasu vojsku.
