"Fire Brigade or Tocsin? NATO's ACE Mobile Force, Flexible Response, and the Cold War." Abstract: During the Cold War, NATO created multinational rapid reaction brigades to act as a ‘signalling’ tool in the event of increased tensions with the Soviet Union. Known as Ace Mobile Force (Land) or AMF (L), these formations served as the basis for NATO’s current multinational formations in the Balkans and in Afghanistan. This article, published in the Journal of Strategic Studies, examine the origins and structure of AMF(L) including the controversial nuclear component of the force.
