Summary

As the U.S. military transforms into a highly mobile and lethal force designed for expeditionary warfare, European allies remain focused on stability operations. Because traditional forces cannot integrate or function effectively with transformed forces, the U.S.-allied cooperability gap is becoming unbridgeable, threatening basic U.S. and European interests and alliance cohesion. The authors explore strategies for addressing this challenge.
