Burden sharing is back. Indeed many observers of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) Alliance would claim that it never went
away. This is because, from its inception in 1949, NATO has never
been an alliance of equals. The United States has always made the
overwhelmingly larger contribution, not only for the defense of
Europe under Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, but also in the numerous
operations that the Alliance has carried out beyond Europe since
the end of the Cold War. At one stage in the late-1950s, the United
States had nearly 400,000 troops and 7,000 nuclear weapons deployed
in Western Europe. It also maintained large stocks of
pre-positioned equipment and sent thousands of more troops back to
Europe every year for reinforcement and exercises.
