The U.S. has officially canceled the deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland
The U.S. has officially confirmed the cancellation of the planned deployment of approximately 4,000 American troops to Poland.
This was reported by AFP.
According to General Christopher LaNeve, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, U.S. European Command was instructed to reduce troop levels, and the most appropriate decision was to cancel the deployment of the 2nd Armored Combat Brigade.
U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll clarified that this decision was made several days ago.
Some units had already left the U.S., and the equipment was en route.
Earlier, the Pentagon also announced the withdrawal of about 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany. In Poland, it is speculated that some of these forces may be redeployed there.
NATO stated that changes in the U.S. military presence will not affect the Alliance’s defense plans on its eastern flank.
The United States has canceled the deployment of more than 4,000 American troops to Poland. This involves the redeployment of the 2nd Armored Combat Team of the 1st Cavalry Division and associated military equipment.
As a reminder, the first F-35 fighter jets manufactured by the U.S. for Poland are scheduled to arrive in late May. This will mark a key milestone in the introduction of fifth-generation fighter jets into the Polish military, which has been preparing the infrastructure and training pilots for their use for several years.
