Stratégie militaire du Commandement américain en Europe, 01/2016

U N I T E DS TA TE S EUROPEAN COMMAND Theater Strategy Gen Philip M. Breedlove, USAF Commander October 2015 Since the end of World War II, European allies and partners have worked with the United States around the globe to achieve security and stability, and Europe continues to be critical to U.S. national security interests. Currently,United States European Command (USEUCOM) is confronting the most profound negative change in the European security environment since the end of the Cold War.A revanchist Russia, mass migration from other regions, foreign terrorist ighters (FTF) transiting through Europe, cyber-attacks, the lingering efects from a global inancial crisis, and underfunded defense budgets all jeopardize European security, endanger the U.S. homeland, and threaten global security and stability. Addressing these challenges and preparing for an uncertain future requires agility; capable, ready, and postured forces; close partnerships with European allies and partners; a fully enabled North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); and a dedicated whole of government approach.Together, the United States and Europe constitute a closely linked community of democracies with shared interests and close economic and security relationships; USEUCOM is the enabling defense link to NATO and to ensuring trans-Atlantic security and prosperity.
