Washington will increase the permanent presence of rotating US military forces in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The US government will increase its military presence in the Baltic states. In addition, the status of US forces in Lithuania will be made a permanent rotational deployment. This is what the United States Embassy in Vilnius said on Wednesday, December 7th.
US Ambassador Robert Gilchrist briefed Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas on changes in military deployments.
“The United States of America will increase the permanent presence of rotating US military forces in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to strengthen its commitment to its Baltic allies. The presence of mechanized battalions and field artillery batteries in Lithuania will be changed from episodic to permanent rotational deployment,” the message said. .
Since 2019, the US battalion has been stationed at the Pabrade training ground in the Shvenchensky district with long or short breaks between rounds.
Remember, according to American leader Joseph Biden, additional US troops will remain in Europe for a long time.
As reported, Washington approved the deployment of additional troops to Eastern Europe in early February.
