505 0  Introduction: The defense spending gap; Purpose and 
       organization of the study -- The impact of defense cuts on
       key NATO allies: United Kingdom; France; Germany; Italy; 
       Spain; Netherlands; Poland; Future prospects -- NATO 
       Europe's capability for defense and power projection in 
       the coming decade: Defense of NATO territory; Missions in 
       NATO's immediate neighborhood; High-intensity power-
       projection missions in more distant regions; Long-range 
       operations with small "conventional" forces; Long-range 
       SOF operations; Conclusion -- The broader strategic 
       context: The limits of smart defense; Pooling and sharing;
       The impact of the Euro crisis; The European defense 
       industrial sector; The Libyan Intervention: lessons and 
       implications; Shifting U.S. defense priorities -- 
       Implications and recommendations for U.S. policy: 
       Transatlantic defense challenges in an era of austerity; 
       Sustaining the alliance over the long run. 
520    "In the coming decade, NATO faces growing fiscal austerity
       and declining defense budgets. This study analyzes the 
       impact of planned defense budget cuts on the capabilities 
       of seven European members of NATO -- the United Kingdom, 
       France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and Poland
       -- that together represent more than 80 percent of NATO 
       Europe's defense spending. The result of the anticipated 
       cuts and future financial constraints is that the capacity
       of the major European powers to project military power 
       will be highly constrained: The air, land, and sea forces 
       of key U.S. European allies are rapidly reaching the point
       at which they can perform only one moderate-sized 
       operation at a time and will be hard-pressed to meet the 
       rotation requirements of a protracted, small-scale 
       irregular warfare mission. Power projection and 
       sustainment of significant forces outside Europe's 
       immediate neighborhood will be particularly difficult. The
       authors discuss these challenges in a strategic context, 
       including the operational and planning weaknesses exposed 
       by NATO's intervention in Libya in 2011, and make 
       recommendations for U.S. policy with regard to NATO."--
