  • For a Sustainable Defence
    Area: Defence & Security - ARI Nº 84/2003 6/10/2003 For a Sustainable Defence Ignacio Cosidó∗ Subject: We analyse the low level of Spain’s defence spending compared with its European, the effects on the defence budget of ending conscription and the difficulties of sustaining the necessary modernisation of the Spanish Armed Forces in a context of Spain’s increasing ambitions in the international arena. Summary: The defence spending debate recently resurged in Spain as a result of the tragic air disaster in Turkey. Yet, regardless of this terrible event, it has to be said that Spain has long been the NATO country that, on most measurements (GDP percentage, investment per man under arms, man under arms per 1,000 people, etc.), spends least on its defence. This longstanding funding shortage was recently aggravated by the added cost for the armed forces of ending conscription, costs that had to be borne with practically no supplementary budgetary allowance. All this meant a steady reduction in defence investment, which, however, was cushioned to some extent since 1997 by alternative means of funding. However, the sustainability of the modernisation of the Spanish Armed Forces could fail unless defence allocations in the medium term are increased, particularly in view of the fact that all three Services are now being called upon to play a much more active role beyond Spanish frontiers. Spain will therefore be obliged in the near future to increase defence spending in line with its growing ambitions in defence policy. Analysis: The tragic accident that cost the lives of 62 Spanish servicemen coming back home from their mission in Afghanistan in a Ukrainian aircraft suddenly reopened the debate over whether Spain’s defence spending was sufficient to cater for the country’s increasing international commitments.

Since the early 50’s of the last century it was very much involved in exercises and training with the United States Air Force following the Agreements that Spain signed with the United States in 1953. That is why when Spain joined NATO in 1982 the Spanish Air Force was already somewhat familiar with NATO doctrine and procedures. In the following years, cooperation with NATO was increased dramatically through exercises and, when necessary, in operations. The Spanish Air Force is now ready and well prepared to contribute to the common defence of NATO nations and to participate in NATO led operations whenever the Spanish government decides to do so.
