Germany Troop Withdrawal on Hold Amid Review
A plan to move almost 12,000 U.S. troops out of Germany, including the Army’s 2nd Cavalry Regiment, is on hold, President Joe Biden announced Feb. 4.
In a speech at the State Department, Biden said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will be “leading a global posture review of our forces so that our military footprint is appropriately aligned with our foreign policy and national security priorities.”
He added, “While this review is taking place, we’ll be stopping any planned troop withdrawals from Germany.”
