Except for the French-German Brigade and the Staff of the Multinational Command Support Brigade (MNCS Bde) that are permanently under operational command of HQ Eurocorps, the national contributions remain under national command in peacetime. They become fully subordinated after Transfer of Authority has been decided by member states.

The type and size of units needed by the Eurocorps have to be determined depending on the assigned mission, likely employment and the expected operational outcome. In the case that all the earmarked national contributions are committed, the Corps would number approximately 60,000

Beside its organic and earmarked units, HQ Eurocorps is also prepared to command units (up to division size) that non-Eurocorps countries might allocate for a specific operation. This participation of non-Eurocorps forces is known as the "5 + X Concept".
