Forward deployment of a state's military forces acts as a costly and visible signal of commitment from one state to another. It had served as a key facet of America's Cold War strategy of containment, deterring aggression against Western partners and expanding the West's sphere of influence. Today, the United States still maintains significant military presence within the territory of several of its key allies and partners with tens of thousands of troops deployed at any given time.Research on forward deployment has found hosting another state's military to have a wide range of implications for domestic and international political behaviors of both the host and potential challengers. Hosting the forward deployed troops of the United States has been found to associated with a lower likelihood that the host is targeted for a militarized dispute (Machain and Morgan 2013; O'Mahoney 2017), a lower interest by the host to invest in their own defense spending if not also allied to the United States (Allen, VanDusky-Allen, and Flynn 2016), and can carry significant consequences for human rights within the country hosting the deployment (Bell, Clay, and Machain 2017).However, much of this research has been constrained in two ways. First, a plurality of the existing research only observes deployments made by the United States. This focus is understandable given the post-World War II status of the U.S. as a global hegemon. Additionally, the United States engages in forward deployment more than any other state. However, there is still a question of whether the effects of forward deployment observed for the United States can be generalizable to states hosting deployments from other major powers. Further, forward deployment has often been limited to only observing the number of troops which are deployed. This treats military forces as a single homogenous entity without regard for differences of military roles, equipment, or capabilities. These limitations leave us with an incomplete understanding of how forward deployment affects conflict behavior.To further our understanding of the effects of forward deployment, I have created a new dataset which records forward deployments by all major powers from 1974-2014. Additionally, this data distinguishes different types of military forces according to their principal armament and role. Using this data, I analyze how hosting different categories of military forces, distinguished by strategic characteristics inherent in the conflict literature, affects the success of extended deterrence. Results show that some types of forces are more capable of deterring aggression compared to others. Some types of military forces are even found to increase the likelihood of conflict in certain contexts. Results also indicate that the effect of forward deployment may be influenced by the level of competition and tensions in the international system. Finally, the analysis suggests that forward deployment does not have the same effect when hosting troops from one major power state or the other. In particular, deployments by the United States were found to have unique effects on conflict onset compares to the other major powers.
