Rapid intervention exercise (REX)
The core idea of the project is to test the functioning of the rapid intervention mechanism as
part of Frontex’ legal obligation to establish a capability for adequately reacting to sudden
unexpected massive migration flows in circumstances close to a real operation.
The objectives of the project are as follows:
To organise a full scale exercise for a limited period in a specific area and within the frame
of a specific joint operation;
To test and improve the capability of Frontex to properly coordinate rapid deployment;
To test and improve the capability of the MS to react adequately to an urgent call for rapid
intervention;
To test the applicability of the OPERA system for rapid deployment purposes;
To organise a table top exercise in order to increase the readiness of both Frontex and MS
for rapid intervention missions.
Budget: EUR 100.000
Annual Bilateral Talks
The core idea of the project is to negotiate and agree on the contributions of each Member
State to the planned Frontex operations for 2014.
Along with this main goal the project should also achieve:
Identification of a common template for both Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and
Guidelines covering Pooled Resources;
Development of management documents for all projects in Pooled Resources;
Seeking endorsement of the documents by the relevant internal stakeholders and preparing
subsequent ED Decisions, in accordance with the Agency’s QM Strategy.
