(NATO)and non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization partners in order to improve responsiveness, expand expeditionary capability, and strengthen combat effectiveness across the spectrum of security environments; enhance the indications and warning, interoperability and logistics capabilities of Allied and partner military forces to increase their ability to respond to external aggression, defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity, and preserve regional stability; and improve the agility and flexibility of military forces required to address threats across the full spectrum of domains and effectively operate in a wide array of coalition operations across diverse global environments from North Africa and the Middle East to Eastern Europe and the Arctic; investments that support the security and stability of Europe and that assist European nations in further developing their security capabilities are in the long-term vital national security interests of the United States; and funds for such efforts should be authorized and appropriated in the base budget of the Department of Defense in order to ensure continued and planned funding to address long-term stability on the European continent, reassure our European allies and partners, and deter further Russian aggression.
