Abstract
International military commitment relationships can act as channels through which foreign area threats and conflicts are spread to other members of the international system. The identification and description of the direction, relative intensity, and changing status of these relationships can help decision-makers prepare contingency forecasts, especially after combined with global threat and national capability analyses. This article presents one approach for conceptualizing and measuring international military commitments. A composite indicator, already developed, is described; and ranked lists of military commitments of the United States and United Kingdom to 133 target nations are provided for the years 1968 to 1974.
