in NIE 11-4-78, Soviet Goals and Expectations in the Global Power
Arena. We proceed from the premise that the developments we
currently observe in Warsaw Pact theater forces opposite NATO
represent the sorts of activities necessary to maintain and gradually
improve the capabilities of these large standing forces. They are the
activities necessary to replace obsolete or wornout equipment and to
incorporate new weapons and tactics which flow from a vigorous Soviet
research and development program. They portend no large, short-term
change in the general size or character of these forces. (VI, 2)
23. Although we believe this to be a valid premise, we have
examined a number of factors which conceivably could alter it:
- Nothing in NATO's current or foreseeable defense programs is
likely to precipitate any major change in the level of Pact efforts.
Over the longer term, however, a large-scale deployment by
NATO of a new theater nuclear delivery system (such as a
ground-launched cruise missile) could cause an upswing in Pact
efforts, especially in air defense. (VI, 4)
- New Soviet leaders will undoubtedly emerge from the ranks of
the present group, which is responsible for creating current Pact
forces and is committed to maintaining Soviet military strength
in Europe. The new leaders will likely seek to avoid moves that
would antagonize large segments of the military. (VI, 5)
- Despite the decline in Soviet economic growth and the economic
difficulties of such NSWP countries as Poland and Czechoslova-
kia, we find no evidence that suggests the Soviets will cut back
resources for theater forces. Indeed, we have reliable evidence
that some NSWP countries plan modest increases in defense
spending. (VI, 7)
- During the next decade the number of young people reaching
draft age each year will decline in most Pact countries, a trend
that will complicate the allocation of manpower between the
armed forces and industry, but this manpower squeeze is not
expected to produce any decline in military personnel strength.
(VI, 8-10)
- Despite continuing scientific advances we foresee no technologi-
cal breakthrough that could lead to a major change in either the
size or character of the Pact theater forces. (VI, 11)
24. Although the expansion in manpower which characterized Pact
theater forces during the mid-1960s and early 1970s has slowed, we
expect some gradual increase in manpower in Pact ground and air
combat units opposite NATO over the next decade as ongoing programs
are implemented. The overall number of ground and air combat units
