Consisting of 10 ‘like-minded’ nations, the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) is a military alliance with a primary determination to maintain the security of northern Europe.

JEF was founded in 2014 at the Nato summit and is made up of Britain, Baltic nations, and Nordic countries with the UK occupying a central position as the ‘framework’ nation of the alliance.

The structure of the UK-led task force means it can respond quickly to situations to the benefit of Nato and its member nations.
