US to move 11,900 troops out from Germany: Pentagon eNCA
WASHINGTON - The United States will slash its military presence in Germany by 11,900 troops, relocating some to Italy and Belgium in a major shift of Washington's NATO assets, Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced Wednesday.
Another, which involves moving US command structures to Belgium, is to improve coordination with the NATO command. "These changes will unquestionably achieve the core principles of enhancing US and NATO deterrence of Russia; strengthening NATO; reassuring allies; and, improving US strategic flexibility," Esper said.
