With the heightened debate about 🇺🇸force posture in Europe, and with Poland at the center, it was a great and timely opportunity to co-author this important article with @MeitzPL @TheNatlInterest about permanent basing of the right mix of 🇺🇸forces in Poland.
It’s not only about resetting deterrence, of course that’s crucial. It’s also about taking advantage of a generational opportunity to deepen force-integration with Poland, America’s most loyal, willing and increasingly capable Ally. It’s about rapidly turning Poland into a near-peer 🇺🇸Ally, which will be a game-changer for the defense of Europe.

.@USArmy's 🇺🇸 3rd Infantry Division Sustainment Brigade #3IDSB transferred authority to the 1st Infantry Division Sustainment Brigade #1IDSB during a ceremony held at Forward Operating Site Powidz, Poland 🇵🇱, June 4, 2026.
"Durable" Brigade from now on assumed control of sustainment operations on @NATO's eastern flank, supplying U.S. forces from the Baltic to the Black Sea in support of Operation European Assure Deter and Reinforce #EADR.
This is part of a regular planned redeployment of @USArmy's 🇺🇸 forces stationed in Lithuania 🇱🇹 for 9 months in support of Operations #AtlanticResolve and European Assure, Deter, and Reinforce #EADR.
It concerns 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment and 2nd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment from the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team ("Greywolf"), 1st Cavalry Division. Both units officially took responsibility during transfer of authority ceremony at Camp Herkus, Lithuania, on Oct. 3, 2025.
"Greywolf" Brigade was supposed to be replaced by the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team (“Black Jack”), 1st Cavalry Division, however the deployment was abruptly canceled in mid-May.

”The German-Dutch 1GNC will assume the role of tactical NATO headquarters for Estonia and Latvia in the middle of this year.”
Het Duits-Nederlandse 1GNC krijgt medio dit jaar de rol van tactisch NAVO-hoofdkwartier voor Estland en Letland. Daarmee levert het hoofdkwartier een belangrijke bijdrage aan de afschrikking en verdediging aan de oostflank van het bondgenootschap. 👉 defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/2…

Poland signed a $2 billion contract for 146 more Borsuk infantry fighting vehicles. It's Poland's own design — built at home, replacing Soviet-era armor, and ordered in numbers that show Warsaw is serious about defending itself.
