U.S. European Command, in coordination with the Department of State, began providing assistance Jul. 28 to the government of Greece in their efforts to combat numerous wildfires causing devastation across the country.
The U.S. military will work in coordination with USAID, interagency partners, the government of Greece and our Allies and partners to aid the people of Greece. USEUCOM is committed to providing assistance. The role of U.S. forces during this mission is to rapidly respond to the wildfires with critically needed capabilities to aid areas the government of Greece deems most necessary.
