Well the dirty little secret is that only about 2% of NATO forces are deployable outside their home country. And then only if the USA supplies the transportation and the support on the ground in the theater of operations. As Strategy Page has pointed out time and again the rest of the military structure in most of the NATO countries is just a big "job corps". Especially so since the end of the Cold War, since most NATO members no longer see a perceived need to maintain a combat ready military. The new NATO members in Eastern Europe being a notable exception.
