The Future of NATO in the Post Operation Iraqi Freedom World

Abstract

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been heralded as one of the most successful alliances ever conceived and can arguably be said to have partially caused the downfall of the Soviet Union. The political debates leading up to the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and the subsequent military action that occurred without the support of several key NATO members have called into question, on both sides of the Atlantic, the value of maintaining the alliance. This essay takes the position that NATO remains an important element of the U.S. National Military Strategy and has the potential to be transformed into an even more significant partner in accomplishing the military objectives of the U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS).
