An Ocean Closer: Re-Examining US Force Reductions in Europe

By Shawn McGinley

What is a sufficient U.S. military force structure for ground forces in Europe given the current strategic environment? A plan to draw forces down to only two ground brigades has been put on at least temporary hold based on the request of the U.S. European Command Commander. How do the U.S. European Commander's strategic vision and force requirements compare with potential future U.S. National strategies? How does the global and domestic financial crisis effect the situation?
