Key event

The Hague Summit agrees a five per cent defence investment commitment

25 June 2025

What happened

Allies agree to invest five per cent of gross domestic product annually on defence by 2035, in two components, with a review in 2029.

The investment commitment is the resourcing premise of everything this module's current phase describes, and its two-component structure is what allows infrastructure and resilience spending to count towards it — which is the link between the political decision and the mobility and sustainment constraints the module treats as binding.
