Book Description
On November 19, 1990, the sixteen members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and six members of the Warsaw Pact signed a treaty limiting conventional armed forces in Europe (CFE). This historic document, referred to as the CFE treaty, will require significant reductions in the number of conventional weapons located on European soil between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ural Mountains in the central part of the Soviet Union. Weapons held by either alliance in this region in excess of those permitted by the treaty will have to be destroyed. The Warsaw Pact, which currently controls far more weapons than does NATO, will have to destroy many more weapons and reduce its inventories by a much larger proportion. Specifically, the Warsaw Pact will have to destroy over 34,500 weapons, including tanks, armored combat vehicles, pieces of artillery, and combat aircraft representing more than 30 percent of its current arsenal. After excluding weapons once controlled by East Germany, NATO will be required to destroy about 3,700 weapons, or only 5 percent of its total arsenal. The treaty also permits each side to conduct extensive inspections of the other side's military facilities to ensure compliance with its provisions. The treaty has not yet been submitted to the U.S. Senate for ratification because of controversy over an interpretation by the Soviet Union that certain of its weapons are not constrained by the treaty. No other parties to the treaty support the Soviet interpretation. The numbers used in this analysis are based on declarations made by the parties to the treaty at the time of its signing. Depending on the outcome of the controversy, some of the numbers could change but not enough to change the estimated savings or basic conclusions presented in this memorandum.
Shaping Europe's Military Order

Book Description
The legal foundation of the contemporary European security order is the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE). Negotiated by NATO and the Warsaw Pact states as the Cold War was ending and implemented as the new Europe took shape, the CFE Treaty imposes strict limits on the armed forces of all the major European states. This book takes a detailed look at the origins and evolution of the CFE negotiations and the impact of the CFE Treaty on European Security. It draws extensively on interviews with participants in the CFE negotiations and offers a careful reconstruction of a process that contributed to the transformation of Cold War Europe, a critical assessment of the treaty's contribution to security in post-Cold War Europe, and an evaluation of the lessons of CFE for future conventional arms control initiatives.

Meeting New National Security Needs: Options for U.S. Military Forces in the 1990s

Book Description
The United States and the Soviet Union, along with a number of other nations, are currently negotiating two major arms control treaties that would limit various types of military forces. At the same time, political changes are reducing general military tensions. In response, the Congress is beginning a debate over major reductions in U.S. military forces that is likely to last for several years. To provide information for this debate, this Congressional Budget Office (CBO) paper analyzes the costs and military effects of a wide range of possible changes in U.S. forces. The paper documents analyses presented in testimony requested by the Subcommittee on Military Personnel and Compensation of the House Armed Services Committee. Portions of the analysis dealing with the costs and effects of the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) treaty and the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty were performed at the request of the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Budget Committee. Further information on these analyses is available in the CBO Special Study, "Budgetary and Military Effects of a Treaty Limiting Conventional Forces in Europe," January 1990, and the CBO Staff Memorandum, "Budgetary and Military Effects of the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) Treaty," February 1990. The analysis of reserve transfers is being done at the request of the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Unless the treaty negotiations fail or the political changes are reversed, these events will eventually make the world a safer place in which to live and reduce the requirement for U.S. military capability. This CBO Paper examines five alternative force "structures" (that is, numbers and types of forces) that reflect widely differing judgments about the desirable amount of reduction. It assesses the cost and effects of each alternative on manpower as well as its effects on military capability.

Book Description
"This book examines the CFE Treaty both in terms of the Treaty commitments, and in terms of the debate over the Treaty and its ratification in order to deepen understanding of the different national attitudes to security at the end of the Cold War." "It is a piece of contemporary history as well as a book which sets out the legal obligations over the size of the armed forces of most of the countries of Europe in perpetuity. It includes an analysis not only of the Treaty of November 1990, but also the revised version of 1992 (which set out the limits for all the ex-Soviet states), and the CFE 1A agreement, in which states declared maximum levels for their military personnel."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
