| U.S. Ground Troops Going To Poland, Defense Minister Says |
| 2014-04-20 |
| [[WashingtonPost] Poland and the United States will announce next week the deployment of U.S. ground forces to Poland as part of an expansion of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... presence in Central and Eastern Europe in response to events in Ukraine. That was the word from Poland's defense minister, Tomasz Siemoniak, who visited The Post Friday after meeting with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel at the Pentagon on Thursday. Siemoniak said the decision has been made on a political level and that military planners are working out details. There will also be intensified cooperation in air defense, special forces, cyberdefense and other areas. Poland will play a leading regional role, "under U.S. patronage," he said. |

| #7 Why is my text mangled? Tojour Pret (with a accent grave over the e) is the regimental greeting/response (Always Ready). |

| #6 I wonder if the Second Cavalry Regiment will be put over there? They are the most likely - they are in Germany, and already set to move based on Cavalry doctrine. Another unit can be slotted into Graf/Vielsek much more easily than it can be deployed straight from the US to Europe. Back in REFORGER days, this wouldn't have been such a big move, but nowadays, it is. Go 2nd Cav - Tojour Pręt! |

| #2 It's a group from Ft Hood. (I was talking to someone in the deployment.) They were supposed to be going to Germany, but re-assigned, to Poland and (are you ready) Latvia. |

| #1 Task Force Smith to the courtesy phone. BTW, a 'trip wire' means it will set off a nuclear exchange. However, in this case the Benghazi Bunch at the WH, it means a lot of good troops will die for nothing or simply be directed to surrender and be prisoners. That would in turn either totally demoralize the uniform services or initiate a coup, or both. A demoralized military will not be effective in putting down any internal insurrection and possibly go over to such events. Can we say, these people are not competent. |
