The commander of the 191st Arad Infantry Battalion, Lieutenant-Colonel Ioan Sorin Semeniuc, who greeted the U.S. detachment, said they were coming from Vilseck, Germany and going to the Mihail Kogălniceanu military base in Constanta County, southeastern Romania. He specified that the army will arrive in "in the coming days, based on the schedule".

“The first convoy of a series of three, carrying military equipment from the Nadlac Border Crossing Point to the Mihail Kogalniceau base, entered the country. The officers have already gone through the customs formalities, the other two convoys are going to go through the same formalities, and when the last driver arrives in the parking lot, all of them will execute the legal rest time, then they will start the movement escorted by military police crews,” Semeniuc said.

Each of the three convoys consists of 16 trucks, b92.net reports. The American detachment that will be stationed in Romania will be called Task Force Cougar and will consist mainly of soldiers of the 2nd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment. The U.S. military will operate with Strykers, to which soldiers will be added with other specialties from the regiment’s battalions (artillery, engineers, support structures, etc.).

The Pentagon announced last week that 1.000 American soldiers would be transferred from Germany to Romania. The United States currently has about 900 troops in Romania, which has been a member of NATO since 2004 and hosts a Patriot air defense system. France has also announced plans to send troops to Romania.

The UK has already sent around 2,000 anti-tank weapons and 30 elite troops to Ukraine as tensions run high between Moscow and the west over Russia’s military build-up near its former Soviet neighbour.
