Biden says Pentagon can activate reservists for Russia deterrence
Story by Missy Ryan • 1h ago

President Biden on Thursday authorized the Pentagon to mobilize up to 3,000 military reservists for duty in Europe, a signal that ongoing efforts to deter Russia and reassure NATO allies have taxed portions of the active-duty force deployed across the continent since war erupted in Ukraine early last year.

 It was not immediately clear when — or even if — the Defense Department intends to mobilize any additional personnel. Lt. Gen. Douglas A. Sims II, a senior official on the military’s Joint Staff, told reporters that “these authorities will enable the department to better support and sustain” the enhanced American presence overseas.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

BREAKING: Biden calls up US military reserve units to deploy to active duty in Europe in 'Operation Atlantic Resolve'

Operation Atlantic Resolve is the official name of the unofficial operation supporting the war in Ukraine.

A presidential action posted by the White House on Thursday revealed that the President, under his authority as Commander-in-chief, is calling up US military units to deploy to active duty in Europe under what is being called Operation Atlantic Resolve.

Operation Atlantic Resolve is the official name of the unofficial operation supporting the war in Ukraine, and is in response to Russia's invasion of the Donbass region. Operation Atlantic Resolve has been funded under the European Deterrence Initiative, and is intended, thus far, to strengthen NATO. The US has military in Eastern Europe, but has not called on Americans to fight to defend Ukraine.

"I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility," President Joe Biden said.

As such, he authorized the ordering of any active duty units of the Coast Guard to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve. The Selected Reserve is the "the most readily available group of Army Reserve Soldiers," according to the US Military.

All members of the Selected Reserve can be mobilized in the event that an emergency arises and they are called upon to do so.

"In furtherance of this operation," Biden said, "under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty."

President Biden is readying military forces to deploy to Europe. He made a promise to the American people in March 2022 that US troops would not be sent to fight in Ukraine on behalf of that nation's borders or in service to waging war against Russia.

Biden wrote in a message to Congress:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility.

Operation Atlantic Resolve began in 2014 to bolster the U.S. military presence in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and annexation of Crimea.

Biden said in the message that he authorized the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard, to order to active duty any units or individuals not assigned to a unit.

Army Lieutenant General D.A. Sims, the Joint Staff J3 director of operations, told reporters:

Based on the level of presence and operations in the U.S. [European Command] area of operations, DOD’s support requirements have grown, as well.  These authorities will enable the department to better support and sustain its enhanced presence and level of operations in the U.S. EUCOM [area of responsibility].

He also said the moves reaffirm “the unwavering support and commitment to the defense of NATO’s eastern flank in wake of Russia’s illegal and unprovoked war on Ukraine.”

There's been absolutely no coverage on this that I've heard today on radio news here at work...no soundbites from our ABC Radio feed either.

Bidens success in Afghanistan was so great, Biden wants to set up an Afghanistan II in the Ukraine, only bigger, better and more Armys given away and pallets of money left behind, more civilians left behind too!

So much better than Trumps rule, eh?  Ain't it wonderful when you Biden wokesters over and over.  So much better than Trump in office?
Like Biden, you future home awaits you!

I had it in three of my newscasts yesterday afternoon...and the response from Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.

[Timber Rattler]

These are NOT American combat troops but logistics, transport, and trainers to get all the forthcoming weapons, ammo, and supplies to Eastern Europe and then teach the Ukrainians how to use them.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

As I said in another thread, we already have some active duty troops there.  These reservists are going to replace active duty troops to give them a chance to rotate home.  The more troops you have in a rotation, the less time each unit has to spend there. This helps ease pressure on families, etc..

I’ve been trying to figure out what this means. Bottom line up front: President Biden is arguably walking the U.S. up to the line of war and daring Russia to shoot first.

10 USC 12304 gives the President the authority to “augment” the forces of any “named operational mission” to active duty for NOT MORE THAN 365 consecutive days.

Operation Atlantic Resolve has existed since 2014 and is an official “named” U.S. military mission that deploys forces on a rotational basis mainly to the Baltic states and Poland.

Open-source information on Operation Atlantic Resolve from DOD does not suggest any forces are present in Ukraine under this mission.

Since conflict with Russia and Ukraine came to blows in 2014, rotational deployments under Atlantic Resolve have been considered a backbone of deterring Russia from crossing NATO’s Eastern flank.

The active-duty activation and deployment of these additional forces is a dangerous provocation, knowing full well NATO’s Eastern Flank is adjacent to active hostilities.

President Biden did the same thing at the beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2022, massively increasing our active-duty force presence when we knew hostilities were imminent. But now it’s even more risky because hostilities are active.

Not only does this run the risk of further locking us into supporting Ukraine, now the military-industrial complex will say the US military presence is THE one thing preventing Russia from crossing NATO’s eastern border & that we have to maintain such presence indefinitely.

This probably means a long-term security guarantee. Another endless war but this time by proxy.

One could argue that unilateral troop activations/deployments like this—into areas of active or imminent hostilities—should be treated as a breach of the War Powers Act. Regardless, this makes me really uneasy.

Working on that now. It’s not easy and very controversial, but we might have to invoke the War Powers Act.
