The Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of State both have roles in planning the basing of U.S. aircraft overseas. In the European theater, the U.S. European Command (EUCOM) is responsible for maintaining forces ready to conduct the full spectrum of military operations, enhancing transatlantic security through support to NATO, promoting regional stability, and advancing U.S. interests. EUCOM's Commander also serves as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) is the air component of the U.S. European Command. In fulfilling its NATO responsibilities, USAFE maintains combat-ready aircraft dispersed from Great Britain to Turkey. The Department of State oversees the negotiation of international agreements between the United States and host nation governments.
