WASHINGTON — Three Army units will deploy to Europe and the Middle East in the summer as part of regular unit rotations, the Army announced Friday.
The 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Infantry Division from Fort Riley, Kan., will deploy to Europe to replace the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Armored Division, which is based at Fort Bliss, Texas, and train alongside NATO forces.
The 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Cavazos, Texas, will also deploy to Europe to replace the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division, which is based at Fort Stewart, Ga.
The U.S. launched Operation Atlantic Resolve in 2014 after Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine when it annexed the Crimean Peninsula. The operation — meant to bolster NATO’s eastern flank and dissuade Russian forces from entering the alliance’s territory — grew larger after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The 4th Combat Aviation Brigade of the 4th Infantry Division from Fort Carson, Colo., will deploy to U.S. Central Command to replace the 101st Airborne Division Combat Aviation Brigade, which is based at Fort Campbell, Ky.
