Fighting as one: US, European allies move to sync battlefield operations
By: Jen Judson   1 day ago
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany — U.S. military leaders have regularly said that it, along with its allies, should be prepared to mass a large number of troops and equipment to come to the aid of a partner country along the eastern flank of Europe should Russia push beyond acceptable boundaries to destabilize the region.
But speeding across Europe to bring a multinational unit that could be the size of a brigade combat team — or larger — in less than a week is no easy task.
Each country has its own equipment and command styles, and there are policies and regulations in place that hamper the ability for countries to easily come together. Even sharing blood for medical purposes with foreign troops is a challenge.
