But it is not possible to convert territorial forces into expeditionary forces overnight, and the costs of transformation often must compete with the costs of deploying forces for operations. Many allies face the dilemma of either spending money on operations or investing in new acquisition programs.

Moreover, the agreements foresee cooperation on cyber security, terrorism, satellite communications, and maritime security, which are also key elements of the Lisbon Treaty. Likewise, the joint expeditionary forces established under the treaties could lead to the eventual creation of a wider structure, as they already contemplate bilateral cooperation with NATO, the European Union, the United Nations, or other operations.

Large proportions of NATO allies armed forces are still better suited for static territorial defense than for the expeditionary type of operation needed in Afghanistan. And, when the right type of forces and capabilities do exist, operations led by the United Nations, the European Union, or ad hoc coalitions, as well as national requirements, place additional demands on these assets.

Pakistan has sent 12 relief sorties of C 130 aircraft to Sri Lanka and Indonesia, and the Pakistan navy has dispatched three helicopters, an expeditionary force, a medical team and engineering support equipment to those countries.

In 1864, the Emperor of Abyssinia took hostage the British consul, together with some missionaries, in the country's then capital, Magdala. Three years later, with Emperor Tewodros still refusing to release them, the British dispatched an expeditionary force of 13,000 troops, 26,000 camp followers, and 44 elephants.

Last April, the leader of the UK s opposition Conservative Party, David Cameron, explained why we should establish a real operational fund for NATO expeditionary missions, with every member state required to contribute. Doing so would provide some reimbursement to countries that currently carry an unduly large part of the burden.
