European Deterrence Initiative

OVERVIEWThe Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) budget request adds new Department of Defense (DoD) capabilities to improve
deterrence while continuing the phased execution of those multi-year activities funded under the former name the “European Reassurance
Initiative”. The EDI provides one of the primary funding sources for U.S. European Command’s (USEUCOM), and its Service Components’,ability to respond to an evolving European security environment. The 47 activities proposed within the FY 2019 EDI request:
1. Continue to enhance our deterrent and defense posture throughout the theater by positioning the right capabilities, in key locations, inorder to respond to adversarial threats in a timely manner.
2. Assure our NATO Allies and partners of the United States’ commitment to Article 5 and the territorial integrity of all 28 NATO nations.
3. Increase the capability and readiness of U.S. Forces, NATO Allies, and regional partners, allowing for a faster response in the event of
any aggression by a regional adversary against the sovereign territory of NATO nations.
Since FY 2015, the initiative has provided funding in support of five lines of effort: (1) Increased Presence, (2) Exercises and Training,(3) Enhanced Prepositioning, (4) Improved Infrastructure, and (5) Building Partnership Capacity. The FY 2019 EDI funding request allows theUnited States to build upon the successes already achieved by either expanding on or adding new activities across all five lines of effort.
