Here is a summary of European support for a US-led campaign:

-- BRITAIN has mobilised 45,000 soldiers in preparation for war, including 26,000 ground troops and 4,000 members of the Royal Marines.

The Royal Navy has sent 17 warships to the Gulf, including the Ark Royal aircraft carrier, the Royal Airforce has deployed 100 fighter aircraft and the army has sent 120 attack tanks.

-- BULGARIA will not send troops into combat but is ready to send 150 soldiers trained in dealing with nuclear, chemical and biological attacks to countries surrounding Irak if needed.

The Bulgarian government is allowing US forces to use its Sarafavo base on the Black Sea to station up to 18 KC-10A refueling planes to allow mid-air refuelling of US fighter aircraft.

-- THE CZECH REPUBLIC and SLOVAKIA have respectively stationed 358 and 69 soldiers trained in dealing with chemical and biological attacks in Kuwait but have said they will not take part in any attack on Iraq in the absence of a United Nations mandate.

This special unit could however do rescue work if allied troops come under chemical attack.

-- DENMARK is ready to send two naval vessels, a submarine and a corvette, plus liaison officers and a medical team to Iraq, as approved by the Danish foreign affairs committee, though parliament still has to give a green light.

-- HUNGARY will allow the United States and Britain to use its airspace and bases and has since January allowed US army officers to train Iraqi dissidents in civilian liaison work at its Taszar airbase. It is also allowing the transit of US troops and equipment through its territory.

-- LATVIA has said it is ready to send several dozen soldiers to Iraq. The demining experts would not take part in an attack but would help establish democracy in Iraq after a war.

-- POLAND announced Monday it would send up to 200 soldiers to the Gulf to give logistical support to US forces until September 15.

Polish Defence Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski said that Polish troops already in the Gulf would be redeployed, and a special 72-strong chemical warfare decontamination unit would be sent to the region.

-- ROMANIA is allowing the US armed forces to deploy several several hundred troops at the Mihail Kogalniceanu airbase in Constanta, in eastern Romania on the Black Sea, to prepare an air bridge for sending supplies.

Romania is also set to send 278 troops to Iraq. These include 149 military support staff, 25 military police, 30 medical support staff and 70 experts in dealing with nuclear, chemical and biological attack.

-- SPAIN will not send soldiers to take part in the military campaign, but will commit around 900 people specialised in demining and nuclear decontamination to help with humanitarian relief.

-- UKRAINE is considering a request to send a unit trained in dealing with nuclear, chemical and biological attacks to Kuwait.
