Officials contend Moscow has far greater stockpiles than the United states an acknowledged 50,000 tons compared with an estimated 30,000 ton for the United states. Nato from Page 1 has also proposed ceilings of 5,700 combat aircraft and1,900 combat helicopters for each Side. All other holdings in these categories would have Tobe reduced by destroying a number of them. For exam ple nato would have to destroy 2,500 tanks while the Warsaw pact would have to destroy More than 39,000 tanks according to data released by both sides. The arrangement to reduce older equipment first however would be complicated by a Maze of National Laws governing weapons transfers and sales Calvi acknowledged. Much of that Law must be researched to find a Legal Means for achieving the transfers. The most Likely solution would be a series of bilateral agreements Between those nations that agree to equip ment transfers he said. Other questions complicating such transfers would include the costs of destroying the equipment. Destroying this tank will Cost something. Who pays for that Cost Galvin asked. Costs would also include shipping the tank from on country to another As Well As retraining Crews and re pair personnel who would work on tanks transferred from other countries. So you Sec there is a certain Cost in this that has Tobe worked out some of that Between the two countries and possibly also there might be common costs that is costs that nato will share As a  Galvin also said that the Vienna conventional arms negotiations would Spur nato s new emphasis on training smart which stresses computer generate Battlefield simulation to test commanders while reducing the number of troops and vehicles mane vering inthe Field. Last week at the Vienna talks nato proposed Lim its of 40,000 soldiers and 800 tanks on most military exercises in Europe. Nato anticipated the exercise limits when it recently began integrating More Simula Tion into training he said. Part of the right mix of training is looking ahead to arms control Galvin said. Caravan guard an exercise that ran from sept. 13to sept. 20, used a combination of Field exercises with computer simulations at higher echelons. In novem Ber Ace 89 will be a completely Man Euver free exer Cise involving commanders and staff of Allied com Europe above the division level. It in t simply to make a smaller exercise Galvi said adding that simulation also saves Money. A tank for example uses one liter of gasoline per Kilometre he said. If a conventional forces agreement is reached the new Era favors Small highly qualified forces he said. For now the Edge in simulated training lies with the West. The soviets also have some capability to use Simula Tion in training but not anywhere near to this extent Galvin said
