WASHINGTON – The United States will deploy an additional 260 soldiers to Europe in support of its allies on the Continent as Russia’s war in Ukraine enters its seventh month, the Army said Friday.
The soldiers will come from the 101st Airborne Division’s Sustainment Brigade headquarters at Fort Campbell, Ky., according to an Army statement.
The soldiers will help “support the United States’ unrelenting commitment to our European and NATO allies” during the fall deployment, according to the service. “This temporary deployment is in response to the invasion of Ukraine and is not a permanent change to the overall Army force posture in Europe.”
