"President Biden is dispatching additional US military personnel to Eastern Europe at the recommendation of the Pentagon, and about 3,000 service members are expected to deploy in the coming days, US officials said Wednesday,' the
Washington Post reported.
"At Biden's direction and following defense secretary Lloyd Austin's recommendation," the Post said, "the defense department 'will reposition certain Europe-based units further east, forward deploy additional US-based units to Europe, and maintain the heightened state of readiness of response forces' to meet American commitments," a senior administration official said in Washington.
"These forces are not going to fight in Ukraine. They are not permanent moves. They respond to current conditions.''
