The warfighting doctrines of NATO's five national armies, which are deployed in central Europe against the Warsaw Pact, are examined with emphasis on coalition warfare. NATO's warfighting doctrine is explored with particular attention to the military and political aspects of coalition warfare. Selected NATO command, control, and consultation issues, including synchronization and coordination, are identified and examined. The doctrines of these five national armies are not fully compatible. Warfighting doctrines which are not compatible increase the vulnerability of multi-national unit boundaries and do not contribute to the overall impression of deterrence. Concepts to improve NATO's deterrent and warfighting capabilities are presented. These concepts include approaching incompatible national doctrines as a coordination issue. If NATO strengthens its coordination mechanisms, both the coalition's peacetime deterrent efforts and wartime capabilities will be enhanced.
