Summary
Britain and other NATO members have been asked by Washington to identify military assets they have not currently assigned to the alliance for use in a crisis.
The Trump administration wants those undeclared capabilities redesignated to bolster NATO capacity as the US withdraws some of its own forces and assets from the alliance.
UK military chief Tony Radakin disclosed the request to a parliamentary committee on Tuesday, signaling a push for Europe to cover gaps left by the US pullback.
