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.

If you want to defend America, join a militia in Texas.
Yup, just like we walk out the front door and leave the back door wide open (WITH a welcome mat)
Replacing a brigade of mech inf and tanks with a brigade of lightly armed paratroopers and air assault infantry? A big drop in combat power.

Only fools think a ground war between two nuke superpowers will stay just that past a few days or weeks
First side gets clobbered the temptation will be huge
I told my son I sure hope it doesn’t go hot
He told me if we get drawn in here it’ll be on you guys back in America soon enough
We’ll all likely perish
Good point
Insanity
Units beings rotated in to replace others being taken out. That’s all.
Gonna have to fact check you.
Stop telling the truth! Freepers do not want to hear about normal troop rotation. They want to hear about nuclear tensions rising and brink of war chit. 😉
Nikki is starting to get happy at the prospect of our troops in yet another grinder, while her own kids enjoy a good life. Meanwhile, a separate article describes the deplorable and dangerous conditions our military heroes are forced to live in here. Sad that they have to go to another war to enjoy an upgrade in their living conditions. But worry not; Nikki is well fed, clothed and housed.
yup.
My Hypothesis is before the election war is declared in order to suspend elections.
The evil in government, any government is power. They’ll kill their own citizen to retain it.
Ukraine is not that big, and never was. Eastern Europe starts at the Urals. Poland, Hungary, and Romania are Central Europe, not Eastern.
The only good Russian soldier is a dead one.
Go to hell
For the best. If they share your beliefs and affiliations, they would not be eligible to enlist.
You don't want them to serve for the Military–industrial complex. That said. I have a lot of respect for our military. Our bravest were able to assassinate Osama bin Laden. Obviously, that cause was just. But our leaders are not always using our soldiers wisely. They see them as cannon fodder.
Biden vs Putin. That's not good. I'll rather have us deal with the Politburo during the Cold War. But look at us. We have Biden.
