the entire Balkans back into the European mainstream. None of this will happen

without NATO continued belief in ?collective security?. To deal with these

challenges, there is a need for further improvements in the inter-operability

and sustainability of alliance forces. The future of NATO lies in having rapidly

deployable capabilities to fulfill an increasing range of missions. The military

forces of NATO allies will need to be on the same wavelength; able to move

effectively and quickly, to communicate with one another- service to service, as

well as ally to ally- in a world where information technologies are becoming

part of the modern soldier?s basic kit. Trying to stay as current as possible

on NATO?s movements is not an easy job these days. Every hour seems to bring a

new page to NATO?s illustrious history. We can only sit back and watch the

further developments in the Balkan region and in the other ?hotspots? around

the world, like Korea, Rwanda, India, and even within the NATO members

themselves. Other important issues approach on the horizon that will strongly

effect NATO, the unification of Europe, China?s threats to security and the

questions of a possible global peace in the millenium. Can NATO meet these

challenges? Can it evolve in the shadow of the Cold War? The next few years will

unfold an exciting chapter in the history of the North Atlantic Treaty

Organization.
