Along with the essay piece I wrote yesterday....one added feature from late-night coverage in Germany is that EUCOM Headquarters (long based out of Stuttgart) will be moving as well.
Their new location? Mons, Belgium. Not much is said over what facility is in the local area and they will be using.
Time-line existing? Some elements of EUCOM will be in Mons by the end of August.
The significance of EUCOM? It's the official headquarters with the four-star general (typically an Army situation) and he controls all Army, Air Force, and Navy situations in Europe.
The remaining question? Someone brought up the African Command that rests in Stuttgart as well, and there's apparently some suggestion that they will be moving as well, but not necessarily to Mons.
Adding this to the scenario? It makes sense because SHAPE HQ's (the NATO headquarters) is in Belgium already and this four-star would be running this if a actual war-time situation developed. Both should have always been in the same general location.
