The first US troops to reinforce NATO allies in Eastern Europe and Germany have arrived in Germany amid a build-up of Russian forces near the Ukrainian border, the European Command of the US Army (EUCOM) announced today.
“Troops from the 18th Airborne Corps arrived in Wiesbaden today,” an EUCOM spokesman said in a statement, adding that they would be stationed in Germany to support 1,700 paratroopers to be deployed in Poland.
“This is the first of 2,000 troops to arrive in Europe following the Pentagon’s announcement that it will move additional US troops to Europe in support of our NATO allies,” the statement said.
On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden ordered the deployment of nearly 3,000 additional troops to Poland and Romania to protect Eastern Europe from a possible “diffusion” of the Ukrainian crisis.
According to the US Pentagon, a group of about 1,000 troops will be transferred from Wilsek, Germany, to Romania. At the same time, about 1,700, mostly from the 82nd Airborne Division, will be sent from Fort Bragg, North Carolina to Poland. An additional 300 troops from Fort Bragg are to be relocated to Germany.
