The White haired four Star . Army general indicated that some of natos oldest and most hallowed concepts having served their purpose Are on the Way out. These include a flexible response a which envisaged possible Early use of tactical nuclear weapons if needed against a soviet mass attack and a Forward defense a which called for positioning troops As far East As possible in what used to be West Germany. Galvin said he believes natos nuclear deterrent would suffice with a a greatly reduced stockpile because there will be a much longer a nuclear threshold a particularly after new conventional arms cuts in Europe. And a Forward defense a insisted upon by the germans because of Domestic political considerations will no longer be needed because of the Buffer zone created by changing political conditions in Eastern Europe. Although the new doctrine has not yet been agreed non he Slat Tufi 1 fat in finn or Pymn Kirke upon by natos 16 nations or even formulated by its planners Galvin suggested what the new Stra be. The Central elements will probably include a a greatly reduced troop strength in Europe among the allies particularly those stationed in Germany with . Forces in the Federal Republic possibly Down to a single corps of ground troops with backup logistics and air support. A a smaller More Mobile Force to cover the same amount of physical territory. This would mean troops would not be stationed smack up against the Eastern Ger Man polish Border but in a More Central location. A a reduced number of Headquarters units though Galvin said such command and control elements Are an essential part of the integrated military Structure of nato. A a limited Reliance on Short Range Battlefield nuclear weapons with the possibility that they would eventually be almost entirely phased out. A a cutback in Large scale Maneu vers and Low flying training missions by Jet fighters to spare citizens the noise and inconvenience. A the formation of More multinational units even though their Worth with differing languages and equipment remains to be tested. A and an emphasis on further arms cuts that could be negotiated Between nato and the soviet Union with nato continually adapting tactics to such reductions. However Galvin who has held his Post for More than three years emphasized to questioning germans that this was no time to consider dismantling nato which he said had served its members Well for More than 40 years. A there is no substitute for natos integrated Mili Tail Structure a he said indicating that such a system is unique in the Post world War ii world. But he admitted that the current crisis in the persian Gulf had focused military and Public attention particularly in the United states further afield than the Borders of nato members. In the United states he acknowledged some critics have said that nato members should have provided More forces for Gulf service. Galvin said the subject would be discussed after the crisis is Over whether nato should consider out of area action when the vital interests of its members Are involved or whether it should operate on a basis of and hoc individual National update student protest ends Washington a students at the University of the District of Columbia relinquished control of an administrative building on saturday ending a 10-Day protest after school officials agreed to most of their demands.
