This monograph examines US choices regarding the basing of ground troops in Europe, especially with regard to the effects on NATO's potential. The author considers three major options available to the United States: Complete withdrawal, annual rotations, and restructuring the Alliance to accommodate a smaller US presence. By doing so, he provides the reader with the advantages and disadvantages of each option. He also presents his concept of the integrated multinational division by introducing a NATO 3-3 Force Structure that rests on a smaller NATO ground force adaptive to the capabilities and wealth of member states.
