U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced a six-month comprehensive review of American military deployments in Europe, contingent upon the ability of NATO allies to assume primary responsibility for continental security.

美國國防部長皮特·海格塞斯宣布，將對美國在歐洲的軍事部署進行為期六個月的全面評估，而這將取決於北約盟國是否有能力承擔歐洲大陸安全的主要責任。

The proposed 'NATO 3.0' framework seeks a systemic transition from a perceived state of European dependency to a model of strategic self-reliance. Secretary Hegseth characterized the previous era as one of 'free-riding,' asserting that the alliance must revert to a hard-line military organization focused on conventional deterrence. This shift is necessitated by the administration's requirement to maintain operational flexibility for potential simultaneous conflicts, specifically citing the need to reallocate resources toward the Indo-Pacific region to counter Chinese influence.

擬議中的「北約 3.0」框架尋求將目前被視為依賴歐洲的狀態，系統性地轉型為一種戰略自力更生的模式。海格塞斯部長將之前的時代形容為「搭便車」時期，並主張該聯盟必須回歸到一個專注於常規威懾的強硬軍事組織。這次轉型是基於美國政府要求維持作戰靈活性，以應對可能同時發生的衝突，特別提到需要將資源重新分配到印太地區，以制衡中國的影響力。

Stakeholder positioning reveals significant friction regarding operational cooperation. The U.S. administration expressed profound dissatisfaction with allies who restricted basing and overflight access during military operations against Iran, describing such refusals as a failure of the alliance's supportive obligations. Consequently, the Pentagon has indicated that future U.S. financial contributions to NATO's organizational budget will be strictly contingent upon member states meeting defense spending targets, specifically the goal of 5% of GDP by 2035.

利益相關者的立場顯示，在作戰協作方面存在顯著摩擦。美國政府對部分盟國在針對伊朗的軍事行動中，限制基地使用與領空飛越權表示強烈不滿，並將此類拒絕行為描述為未能履行聯盟的支持義務。因此，五角大廈指出，未來美國對北約組織預算的財政貢獻，將嚴格取決於成員國是否達到國防開支目標，特別是到 2035 年達到 GDP 5% 的目標。

In response to the reduction of U.S. assets within the NATO Force Model—including fighter jets, refueling aircraft, and naval vessels—European allies have commenced efforts to mitigate resulting capability gaps. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reported a 20% increase in defense spending by European members and Canada in 2025. While Germany and France have signaled a readiness to assume greater leadership roles, German officials cautioned that the rapid withdrawal of U.S. capabilities could introduce temporary security vulnerabilities. Concurrently, the alliance has reaffirmed its nuclear deterrence architecture through the Nuclear Planning Group to ensure continued strategic stability.

針對北約兵力模型中美國資產的減少——包括戰鬥機、加油機及海軍艦艇——歐洲盟國已開始努力緩解由此產生的能力差距。北約秘書長馬克·呂特報告指出，2025 年歐洲成員國與加拿大的國防開支增長了 20%。雖然德國與法國已示意願意承擔更大的領導角色，但德國官員警告，美國能力的快速撤出可能會引入暫時的安全漏洞。與此同時，該聯盟已透過核計劃小組重新確認其核威懾體系，以確保持續的戰略穩定。

The United States is currently recalibrating its transatlantic military commitments, placing the onus of European conventional defense on member states while maintaining a nuclear umbrella.

美國目前正在重新調整其跨大西洋軍事承諾，將歐洲常規防禦的責任交由成員國承擔，同時維持核傘保護。
