by Nicholas Fiorenza

The Pentagon told reporters on 2 February that the US Army is reinforcing Poland and Romania amid Russia's massing of troops around Ukraine.

The US 82nd Airborne Division is sending elements of an infantry brigade combat team numbering 1,700 troops and ‘key enablers' to Poland, and the 18th Airborne Corps will send a 300-soldier joint task force-capable headquarters to Germany.
