600 U.S. soldiers to go to Poland for troop rotation
WARSAW: The Pentagon on Thursday said approximately 600 soldiers will go to Poland as a part of a troop rotation for operation Atlantic Resolve, local media reported.
The operation is a joint military exercise between the United States and four Eastern European countries, namely Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
The new contingent of soldiers will carry out exercises for three months and will replace the 173 Paratroops Brigade who have participated in the mission since April.
“These exercises of land forces, undertaken at the request of host countries, will help to improve operational coordination through training of small subunits and commanders,” a Pentagon spokesperson said.
