Germany is permanently stationing troops in another country for the first time since World War II
Germany is putting thousands of troops in Lithuania, a NATO member that borders Russia. It's the first long-term deployment abroad since World War II.www.yahoo.com
Germany's armed forces, the Bundeswehr, announced on Tuesday that they'd created a new brigade, the 45th Armored Brigade, to be stationed in Lithuania.
- Germany is deploying troops to another country on a long-term basis for the first time since World War II.
- It's putting thousands of soldiers in Lithuania, a NATO member that borders Russia.
- It described the move as an effort to protect NATO. Germany's defense spending is also rising.
It will be the first long-term deployment of German soldiers to another country since World War II, the Associated Press reported.
The new brigade is made up of several battalions and will have about 5,000 soldiers and civilian staff, the Bundeswehr said this week.
It added that the brigade's command facility was already fully operational and that the aim was to have it at full wartime readiness by 2027.
Lithuania — which borders the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad and the close Russian ally Belarus — is one of the countries that has sounded the alarm the loudest that Russia could move beyond Ukraine to attack elsewhere in Europe.
It's also one of NATO's biggest defense spenders by proportion of GDP and one of Ukraine's biggest allies, describing Ukrainian troops as the ones who are protecting all of Europe.
There are already NATO troops in Lithuania, on a rotating basis, with a multinational battle group led by Germany. NATO countries have also deployed assets such as fighter jets and air defenses there.
Germany's defense minister, Boris Pistorius, previously said, "With this war-ready brigade, we're taking on leadership responsibility on NATO's eastern flank."
Lithuania has also been strengthening its border with Russia.

An uninhabited island, a military base and a ‘desolate’ former whaling station. Trump’s tariffs include unlikely targets
The sweeping tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday target not only economic superpowers but also financial minnows. In fact, a White House list notes some territories with no economy, and no people, at all.
The sweeping tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday target not only economic superpowers but also financial minnows. In fact, a White House list notes some territories with no economy, and no people, at all.
That is the exact case of the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, an Australian external territory in the southern Indian Ocean, which was hit with a 10% tariff.
The CIA World Factbook describes the uninhabited islands, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as “80% ice-covered” and “bleak” in the case of Heard Island and the McDonald Islands as “small” and “rocky.”
Economic activity there essentially ended in 1877, when the trade in elephant seal oil was ended and the human population of sealers left the remote islands, which are located en route from Madagascar to Antarctica.
Another Australian territory targeted by tariffs is the Cocos Islands. With a population of 600 people, the territory sends 32% of its exports – ships – to the US, according to the CIA Factbook. They now face a 10% tariff.
