U.S. Troops In Poland

Description

To European allies, it was a reassurance that America will protect them; to Russia, a warning that any attack would incur a direct response from the U.S. military. Capt. Craig Hymel told NBC News on a visit to the firing range in Poland last week, "To show the flag out here is reassuring to our allies." Hymel is a commander with the 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, a unit of about 1,000 U.S. troops that redeployed from Germany to Poland in March. They are part of a strengthened NATO force — some 4,600 troops from the U.S., Canada and Europe — that has grown along the Russian border over the past three years.
