In an ideal world, Eurocorps would be responsible for policing an explicit "no war in Europe" doctrine. But of course, in an ideal world no such doctrine is required. So in the fantasy world we live in, this doctrine does not exist; thus we can count on Eurocorps being completely useless in case of need.

The best case is after an urgent "coalition of the willing" intervention (yes, I have deliberately chosen a stinky term), Eurocorps is used to validate it retrospectively, replacing the combat troops when the shooting has stopped.

It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
