Roughly 20,000 troops mobilized<\/a> in Europe in support of NATO since Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine are on track to stay in place going into the new year, training not only with local partners, but with Ukrainian troops outside of their country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pentagon announced Dec. 15 that monthly rotations of 500 Ukrainian troops<\/a> would travel to U.S. Army ranges in Germany for combined arms maneuver training, an effort to reinforce their formations as they enter a second year of fighting back against the Russians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Lithuania, the U.S. will upgrade its periodic deployments to a consistent, heel-to-toe rotation schedule, the U.S. embassy announced Dec. 7. Units will include a field artillery battery and an armored element with several hundred soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
