“We are ready to defend every inch of NATO land,” Gen. John Lubas, the division’s deputy commander, told CBS New.
The 101st Airborne Division is a US Army light infantry division that specializes in amphibious operations. It can plan, coordinate, and execute multiple battalion-sized amphibious operations to occupy terrain.
Since August, the 101st Airborne Division has been deployed in NATO member countries to protect the alliance’s eastern flank.
In a statement posted on Twitter on August 11, the US mission to NATO said approximately 2,400 troops had been deployed to Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia “to reassure our allies and deter our adversaries”.
