The United States Armed Forces is increasing its deployment of troops to Europe as the Russian special military operation in Ukraine continues, with an additional 3,600 Army troops slated to head to Eastern Europe this fall.
The Army declared on Sept. 20 that about 3,400 soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division's 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team and 200 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division Headquarters will head to Eastern Europe in the coming weeks. Army officials note that the units will be deployed mainly to Romania and Scandinavia. (Related: Biden orders 3,000 Army reserve troops to prepare for European deployment.)
"We look forward to the return of the 82nd Airborne Division to the continent, and to the Rakkasan's next 'rendezvous with destiny,' which follows the back-to-back deployments of their storied division's two other infantry brigade combat teams," said Army Col. Martin O'Donnell, a spokesman for U.S. Army Europe.
The deployment of troops from the 101st and 82nd Airborne comes is meant to replace Army divisions that are currently deployed in Europe.
