New in 2019: No more Marine rotations to the Black Sea, a laser focus on the Arctic
By: Shawn Snow   19 hours ago
The Corps’ final deployment as part of the Black Sea Rotational Force wrapped up in September as the Marines pulled out of Romania — now the Corps is focusing its attention on the Arctic.
The Corps has been sending a small group of several hundred Marines to the Black Sea region for at least eight years.
The Marines in the region focused on training, advising and carrying out theater security cooperation exercises from Ukraine to Georgia.
