这个想法的灵感来源于欧盟在森林火灾季节应成员国请求而部署的共享消防资源。但由于不同类型运输 工具的所有权问题，该计划将复杂得多，因为军队通常是从私营运营商那里承包飞机和火车，而非直接 拥有。 在一份立场文件草案中，铁路行业机构CER表示，运输一个轻型师（约1.5万名士兵和7500辆车）可能 需要多达200列火车，每列火车最多可挂42节车厢——相当于8400节满载车厢。不同类型的运输工具也 有其特定的要求才能承载军事资产。例如，CER的文件指出，火车车厢的每轴承重应至少达到22.5吨。 德国因其地处中欧的地理位置，在危机中将成为一个关键后勤枢纽。该国已与国家铁路公司德国铁路 （Deutsche Bahn）的货运部门签署了协议。该公司将负责为坦克和其他装甲车辆提供运输服务。德国 武装部队还与国防承包商莱茵金属（Rheinmetall）签订了协议，为途经该国的军事车队提供支持。德国 汉莎航空首席执行官今年早些时候也建议，公司可以为飞机维护甚至战斗机飞行员培训提供帮助。 一位官员表示，第一步，欧盟委员会可能会要求成员国登记其拥有的、可用于协助军队动员的运输资 产。 欧盟委员会正与各成员国政府及北约协同合作，以协调共享 ...
