The Army is showing no signs of curtailing its deployments to Europe as the war in Ukraine continues to grind on.
On Wednesday the Army announced that about 3,400 soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division’s 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team will head to Eastern Europe this fall, as will 200 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division Headquarters.
The units will deploy primarily to Romania as well in Southeastern Europe and to the continent’s “High North” region that includes Scandinavian countries, Army officials said.
Among the 101st troops are infantry units from the division’s storied 187th Infantry Regiment, known as the Rakkasans.
“We look forward to the return of the 82nd Airborne Division to the continent, and to the Rakkasan’s next ‘rendezvous with destiny,’ which follows the back-to-back deployments of their storied division’s two other infantry brigade combat teams,” Army Col. Martin O’Donnell, a spokesman for U.S. Army Europe, said in a statement.
The brigade from the 101st Airborne will replace the division’s 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The 82nd Airborne troops will replace a similar unit from the 10th Mountain Division, an Army news release says.

The soldiers may be happy to be leaving their putrid, filthy barracks. Gee..Wonder why the Army is having such a difficult time recruiting?
I’m with you. I raised Alpha males and will not allow them to be used as cannon fodder.
Improvise, Adapt, overcome
I’ve already told my nephews not to sign up for the military
I like that. It’s the truth too!!! I’m saving it.
Lucky guys. Rotating to Scandinavia for the winter. Miss Christmas and freeze your azz off for Vicky Nuland.
“When these men die I don’t want to hear any complaining from you war whores about the need to escalate or send more money or equipment.”

Amazing how much faith and confidence the war whores have in Biden. How some people can go along with a “leader” who has destroyed everything he has touched is mystifying.
At this point there are no reasons why anybody should trust anything that Biden wants to do as it will only lead to more disasters.
LOL...yep. That’s a classic and looking more true every day.
We have some posters here who live in a constant world of hysteria and raging emotions, even something as routine and normal as this overwhelms them emotionally.
“The US military’s force posture in Europe will remain the same.”
“The brigade from the 101st Airborne will replace the division’s 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The 82nd Airborne troops will replace a similar unit from the 10th Mountain Division”
“This is part of our regular evaluation process,” Dietz told Task & Purpose on Thursday. “The department is always reviewing our force positions worldwide, taking into account the dynamic global security environment. Rotating or backfilling units is standard for us to ensure our forces are best positioned to meet any challenges.”
“The deployments will not increase the U.S. military’s presence on the continent”
It’s Sunday. I wonder why the Biden regime won’t at least give you one weekend day off!
Eisenhower tried to warn us about that. We didn’t listen.
Ukraine here we come.
UMCRevMom should be very happy.
The Ukraine war is a European war that affects Europeans in Europe (and any nation foolish enough to interfere if the Europeans are not all-in 100 percent).
This Veteran took part in that Vietnam kerfuffle some decades ago (started by Democrats, btw), and learned after-the-fact that the process of gradual escalation leads to gradual escalation on both sides, and increases the difficulty of disengagement.
The notion of "assisting" Ukraine with US servicepersons and material escalates tensions and depletes readiness, simultaneously.
"Quagmire" doesn't cover it.
“””Rotating to Scandinavia for the winter. “””
Soldiers love training, I never heard one say that he didn’t want to go to Europe for Winter Reforgers, they were looked forward to.
Trust me. Russia has been aware of our existential threat against them for years now. Warmongers for personal gain and lucre with no concept of the inevitable consequences is a horror to behold.
Kudos.
Correct, and one observes that the article says EXACTLY that. One reads:
"The brigade from the 101st Airborne will replace the division's 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The 82nd Airborne troops will replace a similar unit from the 10th Mountain Division, an Army news release says."It is amusing that the OP comments: "A friendly reminder to the Muscovites about how close they are to NATO troops..."
Friendly reminder. Helpful hint. As if "the Muscovites" are unaware and need a friendly reminder. A helpful hint. Some threads like this sort of verbiage....
“””Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO, and is NOT an ally.”””
But the invasion war threat from Russia is the reason that NATO exists, and Russia has launched an invasion and started the biggest European war since WWII.
Do you think this could be about Russia.
