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.

You always have a choice. The Commandant made his to badly damage the USMC.
You said “We’re not fighting the Russians in Ukraine.”
You also commented we would have to use the USMC instead of the Army because it’s not as woke.
The entire thread is about going to THE Ukraine to fight Russians.
He'll get fired. Then Obama/Biden will pick his replacement.
Oh well. I think the only thing we really need is the Navy and our nukes. We don't need to get involved in another war like Vietnam or Afghanistan.
Our foreign policy after WWII is a mess. So maybe it's good if we can downsize our military.
Hi.
Post 44.
“Putin may be a tyrant...” I don’t know. But...
as you know once KGB always KGB.

“Generals and Colonels are mostly political, not true warriors.”
*************
Basically just politicians wearing uniforms.
More like it’s called REFORGER ‘25. But they’ll probably call it some buzzword instead
Russian propaganda.
If you want to be honest, just say that Putin is better for Russia than Yeltsin. That is correct. But I wouldn't want to be a 18 years old man living outside St. Petersburg or Moscow. Life is cheap in Russia.
I wouldn’t want to be an opposition candidate big enough to get on Putin’s radar.
After Alexei Navalny’s death, I don’t think there’s anyone left in the Russian opposition.
That’s it.
“When you ask how much you should give, the only answer is more, more more, more...”
Screw you leftists.
I had no idea the insanity was that bad.
Unreal.
Yeah, look up the Commandant Berger USMC 2030 plan. It’s unreal. He literally credits a Harvard professor with the idea. And his plan is that Marines will “Hide and Observe” on Islands in the China Sea and around the Pacific. Small units, with sensors, playing hide and seek with the Chinese.
He’s lost his mind. Over 20 retired USMC Generals came out against it in a private letter. James Webb is openly against it writing OpEds.
“Plus, its just bad tactics to announce present and future troop movements and methods.’
Stop it. You want it so badly. You wish for it. You so want it to be real.
Who drew up these plans? Marcks? Or Halder?
