For NATO to work properly, its members must be prepared not only to supply troops and equipment for NATO led military operations, but also to fund and sustain these operations until missions are completed.

NATO peacekeeping operations have been a stabilizing factor in the region. For example, NATO and EU diplomacy prevented ethnic conflict in Macedonia from erupting into a crisis.

NATO support to Kabul International Airport operations continues with Afghan firefighters completing training and currently on duty.

The Naval Forces have participated in international NATO Partnership for Peace operations and various exercises with great success.

NATO has created a Comprehensive Crisis and Operations Management Center that brings together civilian and military expertise on crisis identification, planning, operations, reconstruction, and stabilization capabilities in ways that are explicitly designed to connect NATO headquarters in Europe to the networked world.

Re Booting NATO Russia Relations

NATO, however, has stood aside.

Sarkozy s Three Way NATO Bet

NATO itself embodies that goal.

Russia has in particular opposed its neighbors joining NATO. What is NATO against, the Russians ask?

NATO air power could have halted the Serbs, but Annan did not ask for NATO intervention.

Ideally, NATO should provide troops to UN sponsored operations together with forces from other regional security organizations that could be established in Latin America, Asia, or Africa.

But we must also establish an autonomous European military planning capacity, because the EU might need to lead its own operations, perhaps because NATO is unwilling to.
