Force Structure: Basis for Future Army Forces in Europe (Chapter Report,
01/14/94, GAO/NSIAD-94-43).

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.
