Formed in the aftermath of WWII and in the face of the emerging
threat posed by the Soviet Union, the transformation that has taken
place in recent years within NATO has been neither natural nor easy
for the multi-national organization or the United States. When the
Soviet Union ceased to exist it seemed NATO would disappear too.
The rationale for a large American military deployment in Europe,
described by President Eisenhower as a temporary move, no longer
could be supported. This work documents the transition of the
United States relationship with NATO from a focus on the defense of
Western Europe to an inclusive military and political organization
concerned with the security of all of Europe with the real
potential for employment of its military power beyond the European
continent. Despite budgeting and economic concerns raised by key
members of the U.S. Congress, President George H.W. Bush supported
the "status quo" and was caught completely off guard when the
Berlin Wall fell. He and Defense Secretary Dick Cheney had not
fully understood the changed strategic environment in Europe but
the U.S. Congress did and offered many suggestions. NATO was saved.
President Bill Clinton continued to promote the validity of NATO,
expanded NATO eastwards, reduced the U.S. troop level in Europe to
100,000, and gave NATO a mission beyond warfare with the
peacekeeping task in Bosnia. A new Atlantic relationship had been
forged for the post-Cold War period.
