The European Rapid Operational Force (EUROFOR) was a multinational rapid reaction force composed of forces from four states of the European Union: Italy, France, Portugal and Spain.

[1] It had a permanent staff capable of commanding operations, involving commitments of up to a Light Division in size.

Eurofor was formed in May 1995 in Lisbon, and was answerable to the Western European Union (WEU) directly.

With the merger of several WEU elements into the European Union, Eurofor had by and large become part of the Common Security and Defence Policy.

It was eventually transformed into an EU Battlegroup and was on standby from 1 July until 31 December 2011.
