During the last six months, MSB has, within the scope of the assignment, carried out 76 transports from warehouses to missions, between missions, and from supplier to missions. Getting the right equipment in place at the right time is important for launching a mission quickly and efficiently. MSB's work on the assignment involves streamlining the EU's civilian crisis management missions from an operational perspective. And also make a good handover to CSDP Warehouse III, says Filip Staake. The concept of Warehouse III is not ready to launch and this way the EU and MSB can continue to provide good support for EU missions around the world. – The extension of the assignment means that we can continue to develop the logistics service. The reason for the additional six months is that the EU wants a smooth handover to the stakeholder responsible for the next phase, CSDP Warehouse III, when the time comes. In the original agreement, there is an option to extend the agreement for 12 months, an extension that the EU has decided should be 18 months instead. For three years, MSB has been tasked with stockpiling, purchasing, and transporting equipment used in the EU's civilian and conflict management operations.
