Pentagon: More troops heading to Europe following the Russian invasion of Ukraine
(Worthy News) – President Biden on Thursday ordered an additional 7,000 Army troops to Europe to bolster NATO allies while vowing to implement “devastating” economic sanctions on Russia for its brazen invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
Most of the soldiers will come from the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division, an armored brigade combat based at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Such units are usually made up of three battalions of M-1 Abrams tanks and M-2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles; a cavalry reconnaissance squadron; an artillery battalion; an engineer battalion and a logistics support battalion.
“They will deploy to Germany to reassure NATO allies, deter Russian aggression and be prepared to support a range of requirements in the region,” a senior Defense Department official said following Mr. Biden’s address to the nation. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
