The Madeira Military Zone will send approximately 30 Madeiran military personnel to Romania as part of the Tailored Forward Presence mission of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Madeiran military personnel have worked alongside the Portuguese Army in Romania since 2017.
In the first half of 2023, the 3rd National Deployed Force (3FND/ROU) will be sent to Romania and will be part of a 200 military personnel strong contingent. The 3FND/ROU consists of soldiers from various Army Units, who will work alongside Navy and Air Force personnel.
The aim is to strengthen key defensive areas as a deterrent and defence of NATO borders and states.
