Trump Deploys ‘iron Soldiers’ To Europe, Warns Russia Over Ukraine by tupez(m): 10:19pm On Jan 30, 2017 |
The U.S government led by President Donald Trump says
its Army’s 3rd Armoured Brigade Combat Team, 4th
Infantry Division, is ready for any mission to protect the
territorial integrity of its allies in Europe, warning Russia
over its invasion into Ukraine,
U.S. European Command’s Deputy Commander, Air Force
Lt. Gen. Timothy Ray, gave the warnings on Monday at the
unit’s consolidation and validation event at U.S. European
Command, according to a statement obtained by newsmen
from the U.S. Department of Defence.
He said “these ‘Iron Soldiers’ send a clear signal of our
commitment as they round out our joint team’s capability
in a very significant way.
“The events in 2014, and the trans-Atlantic declarations
from the Wales and Warsaw Summits, demonstrate the
indivisibility and unity of the alliance in light of Russia’s
invasion into Ukraine.
“These events forged a commitment, and a plan, to build
our defense and deterrence posture in Europe.
“Know that our commitment to defense is rock-solid. We
must maintain the territorial integrity of our alliance and
maintain a Europe that is whole, free, prosperous and at
peace,” Ray said.
He said the unit’s deployment to Europe was part
of Operation Atlantic Resolve, designed to reassure NATO
allies and partners in the region after Russia invaded
Ukraine.
Ray said the arrival of the combat team was just one
aspect of America’s commitment to the region through
“increased presence”.
He added that “the thousands of Iron Soldiers here are a
key part of our joint land, naval, air, space and cyberspace
team.
“Be assured, the full weight of the U.S. military stands
behind these sentinels of freedom,” the general said.
Deployed from Fort Carson, Colorado, the 3,500 soldiers
and 2,000 vehicles of the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat
Team join a recently increased land, sea and air presence in
the region, the Department said.
It added that the arrival of the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat
Team begins a series of back-to-back rotations of U.S.
troops and equipment to the region.
“The soldiers and vehicles will mass in Poland and then
disperse via convoy across seven locations in Eastern
Europe for training and exercises with European allies.
“These forces represent one element of America’s
commitment to European security, and it is ready to defend
that security if called upon,” it said.
The U.S. forces, officials added, would train with U.S. allies
and partners, ultimately leading to greater interoperability.
“We are invested from infrastructure upgrades across the
continent, to airfields and ranges; we’re also prepositioning
supplies and equipment and exercising with our allies and
partners.
“We will also increase the scope and complexity of many
exercises in our portfolio focusing on joint interoperability,
missile defense and crisis-response operations,” Ray said.
