Air Force in Europe gets big boost under budget plan



By JOHN VANDIVER | STARS AND STRIPES Published: June 2, 2017

The U.S. Air Force is slated to get a more than 150 percent boost of $600 million in the Pentagon’s proposed 2018 budget for operations in Europe, the sharpest increase among the services as the military seeks to intensify efforts aimed at countering Russia.

Under the European Reassurance Initiative the U.S. Army in Europe still gets the most dollars overall, but adding more Air Force capabilities is required to establish a stronger overall fighting force, U.S. European Command said.
