President Biden is authorizing up to 3,000 reservists to augment U.S. troops in Europe in furtherance of Operation Atlantic Resolve, the deployment of troops to deter Russian aggression.
Units deployed are not to exceed more than 3,000 total members at one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, the order said. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
The order comes on the heels of the president’s five-day trip to Europe, which wound through the U.K., Lithuania and Finland. The trip was meant to demonstrate the force of the international coalition against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And Biden appeared confident he had accomplished that mission, proclaiming that he and other NATO leaders showed the military alliance "more united than ever."
