Abstract
Despite NATO’s decade-long involvement in Afghanistan, the high level of military integration — defined as cooperation between alliance member state’s militaries — achieved by the Alliance today is relatively recent. During the Cold War, NATO efforts towards military integration and multinationality were limited at best. Certainly the Alliance had elements of integration — a multinational military staff and a fleet of Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) airplanes for example. However, alliance-wide, in-depth military integration was very limited prior to the 1990s. Reasons for the restricted level of integration were varied and complex, as Dieter Krüger points out earlier in this volume.
