Three other countries have since joined it: Belgium on 25 June 1993, Spain on 10 December 1993 and Luxembourg on 7 May 1996. It comprises 50 000 men and has been operational since 30 November 1995, following the Pegasus-95 exercise. Eurocorps forms part of the Forces Answerable to Western European Union (FAWEU).

The commitment of Eurocorps under the political control of the WEU was the subject of an agreement signed on 24 September 1993 and commitment under NATO authority was codified by the agreement of 21 January 1993. Since June 2001, Eurocorps has been a rapid reaction force which is at the disposal of the EU and NATO.
