The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is politically committed to pursuing an enlargement process that present only strategic- political challenges for the current members of the Alliance but also operational challenges for the U.S. Combatant Commander While most of the strategic-political considerations are raised as part of NATO's programs for aspirant select membership, operational-military considerations are not fully assessed until after the membership decision is made. The foundation of the NATO Alliance is its military strength. That military strength must remain untarnished to continue to serve as a deterrent to threats that may arise, thus ensuring the future existence of NATO. Enlargement must not weaken that deterrent, and thus threaten the existence of the Alliance.
