A total of 2,500 US soldiers have been placed in the three Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, 10,000 in Poland, 2,400 in Romania
Top US General Mark Milley on Monday asked American troops stationed in Europe to display their resolve to prevent "a great power war" following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff is touring Europe to show Washington's "determination" to defend NATO's eastern flank in the face of Russia's aggression.
Allies, spearheaded by the United States, have rushed thousands of troops to countries closer to Russia as fighting rages in non-NATO member Ukraine.
"We need to make sure that we respond quickly, to demonstrate our strength and resolve, our support for that Alliance to prevent any further aggression by the Russians and to prevent a great power war," Milley told US soldiers stationed in an airbase near Constanta in southern Romania.
