US trims deep-strike assets for NATO as it pivots from Europe

The US plans to withdraw access to deep-strike and other long-range capabilities for NATO, scaling back assets in Europe—including B-2 and B-52 bombers, missile-launching submarines and aircraft carriers, and reducing fighter and aerial-refueling jets—reallocating them to other theaters under NATO’s Force Model. Officials say European allies can compensate for the gaps, even as US-NATO ties strain amid Washington’s pivot away from Europe.

US trims Europe-based military assets as NATO posture shifts

Washington plans to cut deep-strike capabilities and naval assets for NATO in Europe under the NATO Force Model, including reducing long-range bombers (B-2/B-52), withdrawing missile-launching submarines and aircraft carriers, shrinking Europe-based fighters from about 150 to 100 (F-16/F-15E), maritime reconnaissance aircraft from 26 to 15, and all eight aerial refueling tankers, with assets redirected to other theatres and a pivot toward Asia. Officials say European allies can compensate for the gap, but the move strains US-NATO relations amid broader security tensions in the region.
