"Dormant NATO" is a strategic concept outlined by realist foreign policy scholar Dr Sumantra Maitra. The paper was published[1] by the Center for Renewing America, headed by Russ Vought, the former head of the Office of Budget and Management.
The concept outlines two frameworks. The first one provides a timeframe of "burden shifting", where the US is only present as a naval power and nuclear deterrent, and everything from armor, intelligence, and logistics are manned by Europeans in combination and command. The second pillar decimates the NATO civilian bureaucracy, and initiates a "complete moratorium on activities that do not fall within a strictly military remit and only maintain organizational structures that would be needed and activated in the case of a major war."
The paper appears to be a framework for a potential Republican administration. It is reported to have been read a lot among President Trump's inner circle[2], and campaign team, as well as within NATO and the EU[3].
Constanze Stelzenmüller, director of the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings, said that "Sumantra Maitra’s dormant NATO article, much read at NATO, suggests a suspension or withdrawal-lite option — but even that would fatally undercut the credibility of Article V".[4]
