Book Description
NATO must pursue a sound defense program as it enlarges-not to prepare for a threat, but to meet its peacetime preparedness standard. DOD's cost estimate of $27-35 billion for all NATO enlargement measures through 2009 causes sticker shock to some, but it is moderate: only about 1% of NATO's total defense spending. This estimate is not low-sided or prone to major inflation. It is similar to the RAND estimate, and lower than the CBO estimate because CBO embraced a higher threat and theory of requirements. The United States will not be carrying unfair burdens. Its expense may be no more than $2 billion through 2009. The cost of stationing U.S. forces in Europe will not rise appreciably.

Book Description
Past NATO enlargement helped create a Europe whole, free, and at peace, but future enlargement, should it occur, faces a hostile and militarily revitalized Russia. This report examines the military requirements and resulting budget costs of extending NATO’s Article 5 commitment to countries such as Ukraine, Georgia, or Bosnia-Herzegovina, which are actively seeking NATO membership, and Sweden and Finland, about which there has been analysis and speculation about membership. Costs to the United States range from $11 billion per year to defend Ukraine to half a billion dollars or less to defend Sweden. The project recommends that NATO incorporate force requirements and cost considerations into its future decisionmaking.

Book Description
On October 23, 1997, we testified before your Committee on a cost study that had been developed independently by the Department of Defense (DOD) regarding the enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). We also provided you with NATO'S schedule for preparing its own studies regarding the requirements and costs associated with the alliance's enlargement. This report responds to your request that we evaluate the basis for NATO'S cost estimate for enlarging its membership. You also asked for our views on DOD'S assessment of NATO'S estimate. At the Madrid Summit in July 1997, NATO invited three countries, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, to enter into negotiations to become NATO members. At the summit, the NATO heads of state and government also directed NATO'S managing body, the North Atlantic Council (NAC), to prepare an analysis of the commonly funded costs of enlargement.

Book Description
On July 8,1997, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) invited Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic to become NATO members. If approved by the current membership, the alliance's expansion will entail costs to NATO, its current members, and the newly invited states. Several efforts have been made to estimate these costs. At the request of Congress, the executive branch prepared a study on NATO enlargement issues, including cost, which was released in February 1997. Other estimates have been developed by the Congressional Budget Office (cBO) and the RAND Corporation. In response to your request, we have evaluated the executive branch's estimate. Our specific objectives were to (1) assess the reasonableness of the study's key assumptions, (2) verily the pricing of individual cost elements and identity the basis for the pricing, (3) determIne whether the estimate's major cost categories and elements should be ascribed to NATO enlargement, (4) identily factors that were not included in the study's cost estimate that could affect enlargement costs, and (5) compare the executive branch's estimate with the CBO and RAND estimates. As agreed with your offices, we did not independently estimate the cost of enlarging NATO.
