Describes The Role Of US Army Europe As A Deterrent Force In Western Europe, Covering Both The Missions Exclusive Of NATO As Well As Those Performed As A Member Of NATO.
NATO’s first secretary general, Hastings “Pug” Ismay, famously declared that the organization’s mission was “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.”
The mission of the US Military in Europe bears zero resemblance to it's mission 4 decades ago. The Military is a pale shadow of it's former self of only 3 decades ago.
I was in 2nd Cav, Vilseck from 2012-2014. Came from the 82nd ABN. IMO, it was a shit unit. Seems like everyone in 2CR was on a European Vacation and not focused on preparing for war. 2013, we got deployed to RC South Afghanistan. Once we got the orders, it was a mad scramble to get everyone and everything ready to deploy. Of course, as soon as we got back, I got orders stateside. Never got to enjoy my European Vacation.
