...usable for the moment. The French forces are in Algeria." Furthermore, NATO's 30 reserve divisions, theoretically ready 30 days after the start of hostilities, do not for all practical purposes exist at all. The Dutch and Belgians now draft soldiers for an inadequate twelve-month period and are understrength besides; Britain's materiel stocks on the Continent are far below the levels recommended by NATO...
