US beefs up military presence in Eastern Europe
U.S. is to boost its military presence in Europe at a cost of up to $1
billion, U.S. President Barack Obama said on June 3 visiting Poland. The
plans include sending more military equipment and additional U.S.
troops into the region. He called on lawmakers back in Washington to
provide the funding to sustain the effort. «Today, I am announcing a new initiative to bolster the support of our0020NATO allies», Obama said at Warsaw's Belweder Palace. «Under this effort, and with the support of Congress, the U.S. will requisition more equipment in Europe».
He emphasized that Poland and the United States wanted the September
NATO summit in Wales to confirm the need for the alliance's greater
commitment to building infrastructure for receiving support forces.
Later in the day Obama and Polish President Komorowski held discussions
on central European security with leaders from Bulgaria, the Czech
Republic, Estonia, Croatia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and
Slovenia.
If approved, the funding Mr. Obama asks for will be used to increase
military exercises and training missions, as well as rotations of air
and ground forces. The administration is seeking to ramp up U.S. Navy
participation in NATO deployments in the Black and Baltic Seas, as well
as to boost the military potential of non-member countries bordering
Russia, including Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.
The US intention to strengthen its military presence in Eastern Europe
and the areas close to Russia’s borders is taking tangible shape. Take
Saber Strike, for instance.
