The North African Military Balance: Force Developments in the Maghreb
Anthony H. Cordesman and Aram Nerguizian
There is no military balance in North Africa in the classic sense of the term.
Although rivalries and tensions persist among Algeria, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia,
no state in the Maghreb now actively prepares for war with its neighbors, and the
prospects of such conflicts are limited at best. Several countries have had border
clashes in the past, and low-level incidents continue on the Algerian-Moroccan
border. But none of these clashes has approached the point of serious conflict since
these countries achieved independence in the
1950s
and
1960s.
Although several
states in the Maghreb sent symbolic military support to past Arab forces in the Arab-
Israeli conflict, these commitments have had no real military significance.
Today, the military balance in North Africa consists largely of efforts to create forces
that can maintain internal security, defend national borders, and enhance national
prestige. Yet the states of North Africa are also adapting to the threats posed by
terrorism, asymmetric warfare, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
This comprehensive analysis examines the current force structures of Algeria, Libya,
Morocco, and Tunisia
—
their armies, navies, air forces, and paramilitary and security
forces. The authors show that many of these forces have grown beyond their nations
abilities to fund the equipment, manpower, training, logistics, infrastructure, and
sustainability needed to make them effective. Finally, the authors assess the future
patterns and trends in military development in the region.
Anthony H. Cordesman holds the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at CSIS. He is
the author of more than
50
books on the Middle East and national security policy.
Aram Nerguizian is a research assistant with the Burke Chair at CSIS.
