NATO has instructed Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Alexus Grynkewich to find European replacements for US troops and equipment that are set to be withdrawn. This decision follows the US's announcement to cancel the deployment of a 4,000-strong brigade to Poland and withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany. The goal is to reduce the US military presence in Germany, with some of the troops intended for Poland potentially being substituted by those currently stationed in Germany. The timeline for these replacements remains unclear, as it is uncertain whether decisions will be made during NATO's upcoming four-year defense planning cycle or sooner.
