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.

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

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