| Summary/Abstract |
From the perspective of the U.S. Department of Defense, Europe has been the world's "safe" region for several years. After the tumult and disorder that plagued the Balkans in the 1990s, resulting in two majorNATO-led military operations in Bosnia and Kosovo, in 1995 and 1999, respectively-Europe has been viewed as a peaceful, stable environment for American forces and interests.When European Command is compared with Central Command,with its ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Europe unquestionably and justifiably appears safe and happy; even the least-developed corners of Europe lack the endemic human security issues that plague portions of Africa, Asia, and South America
