Report No. NSIAD-94-43
Subject
Summary:

U.S. military forces in Europe are being cut by one-third--from 311,000 positions in 1990 to about 100,000 positions by 1996. Despite this downsizing, debate continues over the size and the composition of these forces and whether further reductions are possible. This report evaluates the Pentagon's force reduction plans and discusses (1) the basis for the size and the composition of U.S. military forces planned for Europe at the end of fiscal year 1996 and (2) the major military capabilities that will be affected by the cuts. GAO focuses primarily on the size and the composition of Army forces in Europe since they constitute about two-thirds of all forces there.
