At the Prague Summit in 2002, NATO Heads of State announced the
creation of the NATO Response Force (NRF), a relative small
expeditionary force for spearheading operations in out-of area
conflicts to meet the security threats of the 21st century. The NRF
is a joint force comprised of air, land, and maritime forces
designed to conduct operations across the full spectrum of
conflict, including a first-in capability in high-intensity
operations against either a conventional or irregular adversary. An
ambitious task for a small force, which is not only militarily and
logistically supported by 26 different NATO nations, but also
requires the political consensus of the NATO Council prior to any
activation - a formality which seems easy to reach, but previously
NATO involvements has proven otherwise. As such, the NRF's
reliability and credibility as a rapidly first-in response force
has yet to be proven. Because of the political, military, and
logistical constraints, restraints, and limitations of the force
each NRF member deploy with, the NRF operational capability and
lethality is limited and heavily dependent of U.S. assistance,
especially with "high demand/low density" air assets. This paper
will describe and analyze the impact of political, military, and
logistical limitations on the NRF's task as a first-in force, and
conclude whether the NRF is a true first-in capability that can
encounter future security threats and challenges or just a
"toothless tiger."
