More US Troops Land in Poland to Deter ‘War Aims:’ General
Staff Writer With AFP February 6, 2022
A large contingent of US troops landed in Poland on Sunday as part of a reinforcement due to tensions with Russia, with their commander saying they aimed to deter “any war aims” and defend NATO if needed.
Paratroopers from the US army’s 82nd Airborne Division based in Fort Bragg in the United States landed at around 1300 GMT at Rzeszow Airport in southeast Poland on a US Air Force Boeing C-17.
The extra troops “are here to enhance the readiness, interoperability across all domains with our Polish allies and, if necessary, defend any portion of NATO,” the division’s commanding general Chris Donahue told reporters at the airport.
“Obviously, during this period of uncertainty we know that we are stronger together.”
