Airland Battle in NATO, A European View

Abstract

This article will present one European's personal view of US Army AirLand Battle doctrine and discuss some possible implications of the doctrine for NATO. It is not my intention to try to cover all aspects of the doctrine. The discussion will focus on the following subjects: first, the command and control structure (i.e. echelons above corps) in the context of NATO; then, some aspects of the AirLand Battle doctrine at the strategic level; and last, some elements of the doctrine important to the operational level of war.
