A strypker squadron around 1,000 members of the Vilseck-based US service, Germany will be sent to Romania, Pentagon said, while around 1,700 service members, especially from the Airborne 82 division, will deploy from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to Poland. Three hundred other service members will move from Fort Bragg to Germany.
US President Joe Biden said the spread was consistent with what he said to Russian President Vladimir Putin: “As long as he acts aggressively, we will ensure that we can convince our NATO allies and our Eastern Europe there,” he said, according to media reports on Twitter.
The aim, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said, was to send “strong signals” to Putin “and frankly, to the world, that NATO was important for the United States and it was important for our allies”.
