BUCHAREST, Oct 23 (AFP) - The 101st Airborne Division is one of the elite units of the US Army, which is designed to deploy in a minimum time. The unit of the Division has been deployed to Europe for the first time in almost 80 years amid soaring tension between Russia and the American-led NATO military alliance.
he US Army, without further announcement, transferred and already deployed in Romania the 2nd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division with a regular number of 4,700 people.
The corresponding plot was filmed by the American CBS News channel, which had an exclusive opportunity to observe the training, which takes place a few kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
There is also an interesting passage in the story that the "Screaming Eagles" commanders told CBS News repeatedly that they are always "ready to fight tonight," and while they're there to defend NATO territory, if the fighting escalates or there's any attack on NATO, they're fully prepared to cross the border into Ukraine.
