The Pentagon has reduced the total number of combat brigade groups stationed in Europe from four to three.
"As a result, the size of these units in Europe is returning to 2021 levels. The decision was the result of a comprehensive, multi-level process focused on reviewing the U.S. military presence in Europe. In this regard, the deployment of U.S. forces to Poland a model U.S. ally is being temporarily delayed," said Pentagon Press Secretary Sean Parnell.
The Department will determine the final deployment of these and other U.S. forces in Europe based on further analysis of U.S. strategic and operational requirements, as well as the ability of allies to contribute to the defense of Europe.
“This analysis is intended to advance President Donald Trump’s ‘America First’ policy in Europe and other regions, in particular by encouraging and enabling NATO allies to assume primary responsibility for the defense of Europe,” he said.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hagset held talks with Polish Deputy Prime Minister Vladislav Kosiniak-Kamysz.
“The Department will maintain close contact with Polish partners throughout this review, particularly to ensure the continued strong U.S. military presence in Poland. Poland has demonstrated both the capability and the resolve to defend itself. Other NATO allies should follow this example," he said.
