Adversary's Assessment of Reliability of Warsaw Pact Forces

Apr 1984
Description: This document presents the results of a NATO assessment of the Warsaw Pact (WP) forces' reliability. It was prepared by the East German Staatssicherheit (Stasi) intelligence agency.

The political leadership has overall control of the armed forces and the officer corps is loyal. Only few internal problems of the Warsaw Pact armies are discussed.
