It's not front-page news but it has an affect on Germany. The US and Poland announced another signed deal....shifting troops out of Germany, and into Poland.
The deal? There's going to be a joint US-Poland combat training center established in Drawsko Pomorskie. It's located on the far NW end of Poland....roughly 10,000 residents there.
There's also another 1,000 Army troops to be moved out of Germany, into Poland.
Strachowice Airport in Warsaw? It's now supposed to be a future base for the US Air Force.
Wroclaw is intended as a future base for loading and unloading the air force.
Lask, Poland? There will be a US drone squadron placed there.
Finally, there is open discussion of a US armored brigade to move somewhere into Poland. It's a curious thing....the last US armored brigade in Europe....left six years ago.
A large US footprint? No. Once you look at the numbers and add in a potential armored brigade, this probably does not exceed 10,000 total, and the vast majority would come out of Germany.
