For a deployment or a mission, is an economic study done to see whether fighters, or warships, or whatever else, are needed, to see which countries' resources can be used so that NATO incurs the lowest possible costs? If things from Canada, the United States, or a North African country are deployed, costs are higher than if they were from Europe. Are those studies done before materiel or resources are deployed?
