Fort Campbell soldiers from 2nd Brigade deploy for 'incredibly important mission' in Europe
Craig Shoup, Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle - 2h ago
 

Fort Campbell soldiers from the installation's 2nd Brigade were scheduled to deploy for Europe Monday amid rising tensions in Ukraine.
 
According to a release from Fort Campbell public information office, elements from the 2nd Brigade combat team, 101st headquarters and headquarters battalion airborne division have been assigned for deployment in support of NATO allies in the region.

The deployment is expected to last nine months.

The installation announced in May that the 2nd Brigade would deploy as early as this summer as Russia's invasion of Ukraine continued.

“We’re going to check the Russian influence, and we’re going to impact the Russians’ decision-making for probably the next 10-20 years,” said Col. John Lubas, deputy commanding officer for operations, 101st airborne division, in a pre-deployment briefing. “We’re going to do this with all our partners in NATO, the European Union and the West, and this is an incredibly important mission.”

Keeping an eye on the Russians .... for the next 10-20 years (sigh). I already thought we had troops over in Europe doing that? 
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
