Keflavik Base Keeps Watch as NATO Faces Shifting Threats
At Keflavik Iceland U S air patrols maintain round the clock surveillance of Soviet submarine movements in the North Atlantic. About 3200 U S Navy and Air Force personnel staff the base under the 1951 NATO security pact. The base once a key link in containing the Soviet threat now faces questions of its future role as tensions ease. Icelandic opinion on the station is divided with calls to remove U S forces by 1975 and concerns over cultural and national identity are cited by opponents while supporters emphasize deterrence and regional security.
