Air Force General Tod Wolters, commander of U.S. European Command, shared the assessment with lawmakers Thursday during a hearing in Washington, where he warned that the Kremlin's maneuvering remains of "great concern."  "There is a very large ground domain force," Wolters told members of the House Armed Services Committee, declining to share specific numbers.  "There's also a sizable air force, and there's a notable maritime force," he said. "Our vigilance is high."
