Article Abstract:

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has the North Atlantic Council, with civilian leaders who give orders to NATO's commanders. The defense chiefs of NATO may protest if they do not like the guidance they receive from the political leaders. General Wesley Clark is European Supreme Commander, and his post is political as well as military. The US military presence in Europe has been reduced since the Cold War ended. Germany has taken on a more important role as it moves toward rehabilitation as a military power.
