| Israel, Greece and Cyprus |
18 December 2025: Most readers may have long since forgotten Global SITREP A6:16 which focused on the regional superpower triparty alliance of Israel, Greece and Cyprus. Just shy of a decade since the alliance was initiateded it has now officially established a joint Rapid Reaction Force (RRF).
The RRF initially numbers 2,500 personnel, 1000 from the IDF, 1000 from Greece and 500 from Cyprus. It will have a two-squadron air force, one each from Israel (F-35 Adir) and the Hellenic Air Force (F-16C/D); a surface and subsurface naval element, and multiple brigades of land forces to include special operations elements. The RRF fundamentally alters the military balance of power in the central and eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East as a whole.
A Rapid Reaction Force of this size is only intended to preempt kinetic enemy action or to serve as a trip-wire for the introduction of larger, more capable forces to confront an enemy.
Additional details soon...
SITREP A6-16 introduced this alliance, there are other SITREPs which tracked its nascent activities since 2016.
