NATO's first international battalion enters atomic age
An international battalion formed from American German and French troops began operating Oct. 1 as a NATO support unit. Lt Col Robert M Cooke says it is a functioning battalion not an experiment. The project ties to Norstad's idea of NATO as a fourth nuclear power and arises amid De Gaulle's push for an independent French force. Pay gaps between national soldiers pose minor friction but routine life and duties are shared in the unified unit.
