US elite troops arrive in southeastern Poland

U.S elite troops arrived in southeastern Poland near the border with Ukraine on Sunday on President Joe Biden's orders to deploy 1,700 soldiers there amid fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Biden ordered additional U.S. troops deployed to Poland, Romania and Germany to demonstrate to both allies and foes America's commitment to NATO's eastern flank amid rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine. NATO's eastern member Poland borders both Russia and Ukraine.  Romania borders Ukraine. The division can rapidly deploy within 18 hours and conduct parachute assaults to secure key objectives.  Some 4,000 U.S. troops have been stationed in Poland since 2017, on a rotating basis.
