NATO is creating a series of "land corridors" that would be used to rush U.S. troops across Europe to confront Russian forces in the event of a major conflict with Moscow, The Telegraph reported on June 4.
Warnings that the Kremlin could attack a NATO country in the near future have increased in urgency in recent months.
Eirik Kristoffersen, Norway's top general, said the military alliance only has two to three years to prepare, Bloomberg reported on June 3.
"At one point someone said it'll take 10 years (before Russia reconstitutes its offensive capacity), but I think we're back to less than 10 years because of the industrial base that is now running in Russia," Kristoffersen said.
At a NATO meeting in Vilnius last year, NATO leaders agreed to develop new plans to ensure the alliance could provide "300,000 troops at high readiness."
According to The Telegraph, U.S. troops and armor would land at one of five ports in the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Turkey or Norway from where they would travel through land corridors to NATO countries bordering Ukraine.
These land corridors would be free of bureaucratic local restrictions which in the past have held up the movement of troops and armor, leaving them stuck at borders.
Previous NATO plans only allowed for U.S. troops to land at Rotterdam in the Netherlands, but Ukraine's experience of long-range missile attacks since the launch of the full-scale invasion has prompted a rethink.
Expanding the number of ports and having multiple land corridors would mean if one was hit, others would still be available to use.
"Everything is created in a way so the necessary resilience exists – robustness, reserves and also redundancies," Lt Gen Alexander Sollfrank, the chief of NATO’s Joint Support Enabling Command, told The Telegraph.

Are we slaves to the EU and nobody told us?
Or, if they want our help, then let them pay for it. Maybe UK cede all of its islands around the world to us? Maybe Denmark cede Greenland to us. Let's get something in return!
This is called psychological priming.
Why should the U.S. shed a single drop of blood for the islamic nations that constitute Europe/NATO?
Stand back, Let them duke it out...
The U.S. and Chicoms can divide up the residue when its over...

Oh really!
What if we collectively say “Up Eurs, yurpeans!”
...and this is an article from Kiev? Up yours SIDEWAYS, corrupt globohomos.
UK and France have islands they can give us.
Denmark has Greenland
Germany?
Ukraine? Land?
Poland?
Greece, Italy, Turkey, etc.? Maybe islands as well.
Something tells me Putin isn’t too worried about a threat from Woke NATO troops.
Lol!

I don’t disagree with you on that. For me...yes, it is coming as Biden needs a war to save a second term, save the economy, etc.
I said a long time ago, when a depression is eminent, war is the answer. History always rhymes.
You do know this is disinformation? - like the buildup to Iraq 1 where everyone was looking for a marine landing because that’s what had been announced.
Plus, its just bad tactics to announce present and future troop movements and methods.
“Something tells me Putin isn’t too worried about a threat from Woke NATO troops”.
Agreed.
And the Armed Forces can’t meet their recruitment and re-enlistment goals. The best are being replaced by the wimpy Wokes. Generals and Colonels are mostly political, not true warriors. They’d get their azzes kicked.
We used to have the technological advantage to take up the slack but even that is mostly gone.
Using the ROE from Vietnam era?
I have two cousins, standard Trump-hating, former-hippie, “I-support-the-latest-thing” fools - with military age sons.
Cracks are beginning to form in the leftist/globalist cement surrounding their heads. No light has broken through yet, but a few thousand American dead in some distant Eurasian battleground and the economic dislocation upon their government checks would probably do it.
We’ll have to use Marines. They’re not as woke as the Army.
Europe isn’t worth saving again. “Defeat” Russia so there will be fewer damaged buildings for when Muslims take over? If they don’t care about their future why should we?
“Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.”
Two words, Fulda Gap.
I wish there were a ceasefire and negotiations.
