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. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-43/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-43.htm GAO/NSIAD-94-43 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-43 Chapter Report GAO/NSIAD-94-43; Force Structure: Basis for Future Army Forces in Europe; Defense capabilities Defense contingency planning Army personnel Military forces Reductions in force Military operations NATO military agreements Combat readiness Armed forces abroad National defense operations DOD Bottom-Up Review Desert Storm Persian Gulf War Germany Yugoslavia Soviet Union Europe Asia Africa
