At that time, US Army Europe Commander, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, called the deployment the “embodiment of the United States’ commitment to deterring aggression and defending our European allies and partners.” The US also plans to move in a combat aviation brigade with about 10 Chinook and 50 Black Hawk helicopters and 1,800 personnel from Fort Drum, New York, and a battalion with 24 Apache attack helicopters and 400 personnel from Fort Bliss, Texas. They will be headquartered in Germany with some aircraft positioned in Latvia, Romania and Poland.
Other Nato members are also increasing their presence, with Britain sending fighter jets to the Black Sea area, while a battalion of troops, tanks and light armour will deploy in Estonia in the spring, backed by French and Danish troops. Germany also plans to send troops and tanks to Lithuania.
Albania, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Romania and Slovenia are also playing roles in what Nato has dubbed its Enhanced Forward Presence. The US plans to relocate a Stryker unit from Germany to Poland as part of that group.
Nato has already started positioning equipment and ammunition in Eastern Europe to reduce the time it would take additional units to deploy if needed.

They're nervous for the same reason people in the US freak out when they see military convoys moving around. It's unusual, so it makes them nervous. This is the time frame to move units for Atlantic Resolve, to set them up and start the first exercises.

We have nine more days gentlemen.
I fear greatly, that a non-offensive military posture may not be maintained.

It's the great cleansing.
Remember that the holocaust of the Jews occurred under the fog of war.
Ethnic cleansing always occurs with war as the cover.
The US is planning to purge the Muslims. The FEMA camps have been built already for the round ups. And all that is required a war with someone as the cover for the dark operations underway.
Here comes the Muslim Holocaust under the disguise of War with Russia.
