Army 10th Mountain, 101st Airborne division soldiers deploying to NATO’s southeast flank

Elements of the Army’s 10th Mountain Division are deploying to Europe to replace a 101st Airborne Division team that has been operating out of a strategic hub in Romania for the past nine months, the service said this week.

Besides the 500-soldier 10th Mountain headquarters, nearly 4,000 soldiers from the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division out of Fort Campbell, Ky., will replace that division’s second brigade.

“The Mountain Division is no stranger to deployments across the globe. Our formations are trained, ready and prepared,” Maj. Gen. Gregory Anderson, commander of the 10th Mountain Division, said in a statement Tuesday.

The changeover means the Army is continuing with an enhanced presence along NATO’s southeastern flank. Last summer, President Joe Biden ordered a rotational brigade to Romania, the first such mission of its size in the region.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Gee, I sure hope they take all their green fuel vehicles with them, otherwise forests will die! 13859

They should have been deployed to Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona -- along the southern border.
