U.S. Military Presence Is Growing In Poland
Newsy
President Joe Biden is deploying an additional 3,000 U.S. service members to Ukraine's NATO-member neighbor.
The growing U.S. military presence in Poland is a message to NATO, and especially to Poland, that the U.S. supports them. But it's also part of the Brinkmanship — a message to Russia as well.
Across the street from an airport in southeastern Poland, U.S. forces, some who have been there for about a week, are settling in to their indefinite deployment. As part of a force of 3,000 additional U.S. service members, President Joe Biden is deploying to Ukraine's NATO-member neighbor.
On their way to join them: several hundred soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky who departed for Poland on Tuesday to, as their commander, Maj. Gen. JP McGee, said, "reassure our polish allies at this critical moment."
