BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

Report To The Chairman

Subcommittee On Defense, Senate

Committee On Appropriations

OF THE UNITED STATES





Reductions In U.S. Costs To Station Forces

In The Federal Republic Of Germany And

The United Kingdom Are Unlikely


Congress has expressed a strong and con-
tinuing interest in reducing the costs of sta-
tioning U S Forces in Europe through in-
creased cost sharing by the European allies
The Federal Republic of Germany and the
United Kingdom provide substantial support
to U S Forces stationed there, and are
major contributors to the common defense
of NATO

Unless the U S commitment to NATO is
reduced, it is unlikely that U S costs to sta-
tion forces in those two countries will de-
cline Even the withdrawal of our troops
would not necessarily reduce, and might
increase, overall defense spending There-
fore, when considering the reduction of U S
stationing costs, the broader issues of U S
security objectives in Europe and the forces
required to meet these objectives must also
be addressed

This is the unclassified version of an earlier
GAO report on this subject
