President Joe Biden has authorized the deployment of reserve troops โ up to 3,000 at a time โ to boost the existing U.S. military presence in Europe. Of that number, no more than 450 can make up the Individual Ready Reserve, ready for immediate activation in their field of specialization (infantryman, pilot, intelligence officer, etc.).
It's unclear where they'll be deployed.
The U.S. Armed Forces have increased their presence on the continent since Russia invaded Ukraine. (RELATED: Controversial Military Commander Dies โ Was It A Huge Mistake?)
As Fox News reports:
President Biden on Thursdayย authorized the Pentagon to tap up to 3,000 reservists for deployment to Europe to augment U.S. troops there in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve. ย
Biden's order authorizes theย Secretary of Defenseย and the Secretary of Homeland Security to send active duty units and individual members who are assigned to a unit of the Selected Reserve or any member of the Individual Ready Reserve.

The order comes on the heels of the president's five-day trip to Europe, which wound through theย U.K.,ย Lithuania and Finland. The trip was meant to demonstrate the force of the international coalition against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And Biden appeared confident he had accomplished that mission, proclaiming that he and other NATO leaders showed the military alliance โmore united than ever.โ
At NATO's annual summit, world leaders reaffirmed their commitment to Ukrainian sovereignty but wouldn't discuss a timeline for when Ukraine could join the military alliance.
Thursday's announcement follows the controversial decision by the Biden administration to provide Ukraine with cluster munitions with U.S. artillery stockpiles โdangerously low.โ (RELATED: Russia Ramps Up Use Of Very Cheap, Devastatingly Effective Weapon)

DONT Need our forces in Ukraine OUR Tech Yes actual GIs NO
Think I saw this movie. Just some advisors initially to aid the French in Indo China and then more to help the non-Communist Vietnamese and then a Ukraine version of the Gulf of Tonkin incident not far behind? Meanwhile, our ammo etc. is being drawn down, 18 of our subs are in dry dock and the Chinese are growing ever more bellicose. Prescription for disaster.
NO………………….GIs lives are the price to die for a corrupted UKRAINE government!!!!
