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.

This is sick. He is downright gleeful.
Let's see how all of that works out for us.
Romania is the southeast of NATO, but is Central Europe geographically not “Eastern Europe”.
Sending our troops overseas would be a good time for the Chinese to activate the soldiers coming through our southern (and probably northern) border.
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.
Recall these troops and more to stop the invasion in Eagle Pass and El Paso.
Don’t worry, this isn’t going to end well.
Just more Ukrainian porn for the war mongers to get excited over.
WWIII won’t be fought with infantry and ground troops, but with nuclear missiles. WWIV will be fought will stones and clubs.
Damn, damn, DAMN.
I despise this administration.
*yawn* this is normal unit rotation, nothing has changed, nothing irregular., no increase… SOP.
Don't worry about that.
You'll never hear a word.
So….this is a normal rotation?
The article states they are replacing troops that have been there for a while.
Gee, NATO troops being rotated to Europe, replacing existing NATO troops. I am sure Moscow is shaking in their boots and getting the nukes ready to fly. //obvious sarcasm…except to Russian propagandists.
Basically they’re being spread out in penny packets all over Eastern Europe.
Here we go again. Democratic party the party of war. War against half the people at home and war against anybody whether they’re in the nearest or in eastern Europe. This group never found the war they didn’t like.
- Korea
- Vietnam
- Iraq
- Afganastan
Maybe their trannies, rainbow flags, and patches will show those Ruskies we really mean business this time!
Boo!
I’ll second that. Priority now is the invasion of our own damn country. And when SHTF here, not for a damn second do I think other countries will be coming to help us. Not even Ukraine.
Exactly, no need to get hysterical on a standard rotation deployment
