<P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="+0">The papers in this volume were
presented at the Twelfth International NATO Workshop which was held in
Dresden, Germany on 18-22 June 1995 at the Kempinski Taschenbergpalais, a
Baroque palace built by Augustus the Strong for his mistress Countess
Cosel. The palace was destroyed by bombing in the final days of World War
II and is now enjoying a new life as a fine hotel. The rebuilding of the
Taschenbergpalais, according to the original plans of the architect Matthäus
Daniel Pöppelmann, is a symbol of the rebuilding of East Germany and
the unification of not only Germany but also Europe. The rebuilt palace
offered an elegant and well-equipped center for our discussions on "The
New NATO--Building Stability, Democracy, and Peace Through Cooperation."</FONT></FONT>

political and military representatives from over thirty countries,
participation at this year's NATO Workshop was broader than ever before.
For the first time, Willy Claes participated in his new role as NATO
Secretary General. Supreme Allied Commander Europe General George Joulwan
kindly agreed to serve again as the Workshop's Honorary General Chairman,
continuing a tradition established by his predecessor as SACEUR, General
John Shalikashvili. When General Joulwan was absent from the Workshop,
DSACEUR General Sir Jeremy Mackenzie and DCINCENT Air Chief Marshal Sir
Michael Stear helped lead the Workshop sessions. Among other senior
military participants were Chairman of the NATO Military Committee Field
Marshal Sir Richard Vincent, CINCSOUTH Admiral Leighton W. Smith, CINCENT
General Helge Hansen, CINCNW Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Johns, and
CINCUSAFE General James Jamerson. In addition to General Klaus Naumann,
the Chief of Defense of Germany, Denmark was represented by its Chief of
Defense General Jørgen Lyng. Lieutenant General Sven-Åke
Jansson, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Region, represented Sweden,
while Lieutenant General Matti Kopra, Chief of Defense Staff, represented
Finland. NATO's Military Representatives to the NATO Military Committee
played an important role, as did the Head of the French Military Mission
to NATO and the representatives of SACEUR and Supreme Allied Commander
Atlantic.</FONT></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="+0">We were honored by the

<P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="+0">A meeting two years ago between
German Chief of Defense General Klaus Naumann and Dr. Johann Schäffler,
Executive Advisor to the President of Daimler-Benz Aerospace AG, was an
initial spark that led to the German government's invitation to hold the
Workshop in Dresden. SHAPE's then-Chief of Staff General J.B. Davis also
supported the choice of Germany. At last year's NATO Workshop, Lieutenant
General Jörn Söder formally invited the Workshop to Dresden on
behalf of General Naumann and Defense Minister Volker Rühe. Since
that moment, Germany's support for the Workshop has been extraordinary.
General Naumann welcomed us with warmth to the Workshop, and our patron,
Defense Minister Rühe, hosted a delightful dinner. State Secretary Jörg
Schönbohm, whose contributions as a member of the Workshop Board of
Advisors were especially appreciated, also represented the German
government. Dr. Kurt Biedenkopf, Minister-President of the Free State of
Saxony, greeted us with a reception at the Dresden Stadtschloss, while
Lord Mayor Herbert Wagner hosted a memorable ceremony at the Dresden
Rathaus, the signing of the Golden Book by NATO Secretary General Willy
Claes and General George Joulwan in the presence of General Naumann. We
also appreciated the participation of Germany's Ambassador to NATO Dr.
Hermann Freiherr von Richthofen and Lieutenant General Klaus Wiesmann,
Germany's Military Representative to the NATO Military Committee and his
predecessor, Lieutenant General Söder. Among German officials serving
in senior NATO roles, SHAPE Chief of Staff General Peter Carstens and the
Commander-in-Chief Allied Forces Central Europe General Helge Hansen were
especially helpful. The large group of senior NATO officials and military
commanders at Brussels appreciated the Luftwaffe aircraft that carried
them to Dresden. The Luftwaffe also provide special air transportation for
the NATO Secretary General so that he could give the opening dinner
address.</FONT></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE="+0">The German Ministry of Defense
Protokoll Office was extremely helpful with the planning and organization
of the event. Drawing partly on a cadre of officers who had helped
organize other high-level meetings in Germany, the Protokoll Office led by
Colonel Jan Freiherr von Recum, Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard Leymann, and
Lieutenant Colonel Heinz-Joachim Neumann assembled a highly professional
and dedicated support team including Lieutenant Colonel Werner Schroth,
Captain Jörg Schneider, Captain Erich Reichart, Sergeant Major Udo
Lindlein, and Staff Sergeant Wilfried Schreiner. Lieutenant Colonel
Norbert Gleiß, arranged the spouses' program, with its appealing
visits to the Dresden Royal Palace Quarter, the Hofkirche, Italienisches Dörfchen,
Semper Opera House, the renowned porcelain factory of Meissen, Schloss
Moritzburg, and Schloss Pillnitz. We would also like to thank Mrs. Ursula
Albrecht, protocol specialist, and Sailor Thomas Marks for their
assistance. The military physicians Dr. Birgit Rompf and Dr. Michael
Bruder provided us with excellent care. Lieutenant Colonel Wolfgang
Schneider, Lieutenant Colonel Ernst-Otto Berk, and Colonel Wolf-Dieter
Skodowski from the office of the Chief of Defense were especially active
in various important phases of planning. We appreciate the loan of the
cover photograph for this volume by the Zwinger Museum, as well as the
loan of historical military artifacts for display at the Workshop by the
Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr Dresden. Security was
provided by the Saxonian Ministry of Interior and included
Kriminalhauptkommissar Graser, Polizeihauptkommissar Langguth,
Polizeihauptwachtmeister Kautzner, Polizeioberrat Siegftried Wolf,
Polizeirat Andreas Wunderlich, Kriminalhauptkommissar Reinhold Löwe,
and Mr. Stiller. Among those serving as drivers were Hans Gummersbac, Uwe
Masachner, Walter Hoffmann, Klaus Pommerening, Karl-Heinz Bürger,
