U.S. Army Participation in NATO Multinational Corps

Abstract

Current US military strategy calls for a forward presence in Europe. NATO senior leaders envision formation of multinational forces in the NATO force structure. This paper examines the framework for future forces as established by developing national and military strategies and doctrines; emerging multinational trends in NATO and possible force structures; and examines challenges for the operational commander at the strategic and operational level. Finally, some measures of effectiveness suggest that while a US commitment to European multinational corps formations may be politically expedient, it may not reflect the optimum use of diminishing resources nor provide the right mix of forces needed to address the most likely threats.
