These divisions supposedly Are near full strength Well equipped and combat ready425,000 men. A reporter touring Allied commands however finds it difficult to be Lieve the allies could Muster More than 250,000 troops some indifferently equipped against an nato policy this land Force would meet any soviet aggression As close to the frontiers of the 750-mile-Long Iron curtain As possible and hold them there until the rest of Europe could mobilize. In discussing nato policy a briefing officer at supreme head quarters Allied Powers Europe shape said we have no offensive plans at this response to a question he added we do a v e counter offensive the Job of these 21% divisions isto guard the three main invasion routes into the heart of Nat from the East the North euro Pean Plain the Milter Geirge mid dle Mountain Gap in Central Ger Many and the Danube Valley in the South. The shield Force consists Ond Aper of five . Divisions four from Britain two from France seven from Germany two from Belgium and one from the nether Anels plus one third of a Canadian division. But paper strength does not win Battles. How Many of these Divi Sions actually Are ready for modern combat Gen Jean Etienne Valley who Muster three Valley general then was asked Doall the divisions assigned to your command really exist after a moment s reflection Valley said Las been a French Soldier for 42 of his 60 years is commander in Hief of the Allied forces in Cen ral Europe with Headquarters at Fontainebleau. In an interview conducted rough an interpreter Valley said f he had to undertake a land warn Europe tomorrow there would e three divisions he could no commit immediately one each rom France Belgium and the Netherlands. Could the British really Muster our divisions the British could a War seen Only alternative if ground forces inadequate Wachtor to Viva / a t \ i _ a. Washington a the . Army s research and development chief said Here America might be forced to fight a nuclear War be cause of inadequate forces to meet & conventional weapon threat. The Active divisions of the army today Are just one less division Lian those available to Romania of the lesser satellites of rus Sia said it Gen Arthur g. Tru Deau on a television program. He added if we put ourselves in a position or keep ourselves in a position of inferiority with re Spect to being Able to meet the Challenge of conventional warfare on the part of the soviets then there is the likelihood that we would Dave no alternative except recourse to atomic Gen Jean Etienne Valley All the divisions exist but not a full thus by Valley s reckoning the shield Force for Central Europe now is 17 combat divisions read for action but that is not the whole Story. The seven German divisions exist but four Are essentially training divisions. The other three Are heavily armoured highly Mobile units of 9,000 to 10,000 men each. If the German training divisions Are removed from the list of the combat fit units Valley s land forces Are reduced to 13% Divi Sions but again that is not the whole Story. Valley noted that the British an belgian forces contain Large num Bers of foot soldiers. In these Days of atomic Battlefield weapons and mechanization the walking Soldier May be an anachronism. Valley was asked what he considered his major problem. My main fear and worry is the feeling of moral disengagement some nations seem to have toward in february 1957 Britain formally advised its allies that a strained Economy was forcing it to reduce its nato commitment in Germany from 80,000 troops to 50,000. Franc notified nato of a similar intention at the same time. Gen Lauris Norstad supreme Allied Comman Der in Europe called the cuts dangerous. Aside from the economic Angle Britain said it Felt the development of missiles and rockets had reduce the manpower needs of nato. As for the French nearly All of the nation s first line troops Are committed to the suppression of the algerian rebellion. Once France had five divisions in the nato shield. Now it has two neither at full strength according to an american source. I All this boils Down to a single hard fact there seem to be precisely eight divisions now in t nato shield which Are full strength Well equipped and highly trained for atomic warfare five . Divisions and three Ger Man. 30 divisions needed if Norstad is going to get the 30 divisions he says he needs even on paper the West germans will have to build five additional divisions in record time. The Ger Man goal is 12 divisions. Further the French will have to return at least four divisions from Algeria. What does the nato shield face Western military men say there Are 20 soviet divisions in East Germany alone 400,000 men. In addition there Are seven East German divisions 95,000 men,14 polish divisions 280,000 men and 14 czechoslovakian divisions of170,000 men. In All the russians have about175 divisions 160 of which Are stationed West of the ural mountains. Russian divisions Range inside from 13,000 to 15,000 men. A Standard . Division contains,14,500 men.
