Book Description
"Nations pooling resources together to obtain a military capability is a method to reduce national costs. The NATO Secretary General's Smart Defence initiative is a program for NATO to invest resources and share military capabilities. NATO operations over the last 20 years have indicated a reliance on aerial refueling to conduct operations for Article 4 out-of-area missions. Aerial refueling would also benefit operations under Article 5 given the vast distances of the Alliance's territory."--Abstract.
