Plan to Muster Soldiers of Europe Into One Army
Paris reports a proposal to unite European militaries into a single army under one commander to face a common threat. Invitations went to 11 governments for a February 6 meeting, with West Germany the first to respond and observers from Canada and the United States invited. The plan envisions a European defense minister and a single general staff, while overseas forces remain under national control for colonial duties and internal security police stay outside army command. The effort aims to bolster Eisenhower's Atlantic Pact forces and complements the Pleven plan without conflicting with NATO structures.
