The Strategic Studies Institute recently published A Hard Look at Hard Power: Assessing the Defense Capabilities of Key U.S. Allies and Security Partners. Edited by Gary J. Schmitt, codirector of the Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies at AEI, and featuring contributions from him, AEI scholar Michael Mazza, and others, it fills critical gaps in information “about the actual hard power resources of America’s allies.”
As active NATO deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq draw down, member NATO states are also beginning to draw down their ground force capabilities. Guillaume Lasconjarias explains that this is a mistake, as drawing down land operability imposes a grave cost on success in future deployments.
