Pierre Tran writes the move comes as European and Nordic nations work to increase security measures amid the threat of possible Russian military action.

Representatives from 28 NATO member countries are expected to attend the alliance summit on Thursday and Friday in Newport, Wales.

The U.K. wants to establish the joint military group with the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and the Baltic states of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, according to Defense News.

Separately, NATO has proposed setting up a high-readiness multinational force that will have air, sea and special operations support, Tran reports.
