This memorandum examines current Warsaw Pact capabilities in Central Europe, with particular emphasis on force modernization and improvements, doctrine and tactics, and attack scenarios. Pact problems are discussed, including topography, logistics, reliability of allies, and language difficulties. Finally, the author discusses Soviet concerns for the remainder of the decade, concluding that the Soviets will not be able to launch a blitzkrieg against Western Europe which would lead to a quick and decisive victory.
