to counter the threat of those who seek
to rule by force . We must pay the cost
of our own needed military strength and
helped to build the security of others .
The NATO defense treaty pledges us all
of the common defense regard an attack
upon one as an attack upon all . There
must be no wavering by us nor any
doubts by others . That America will
meet her responsibilities to remain
free secure and at
peace .
Mhm . Mhm . Us Army Europe and
Africa forces are strategically
positioned across our 104 country area
of responsibility to deter aggression
and assure our allies and partners of
the US . commitment to peace and
stability in Europe and Africa . We've
been here for over 70 years for more to
to the Cold War to the present . We've
been committed to maintaining peace and
stability in the region with a balanced
mix of both permanent and rotational
forces . U . S . Army europe and Africa
is flexible , agile and well postured
to deter potential threats , assure our
allies and quickly respond and win
should deterrence fail . Being able to
have rapid force for deployment to
whatever country we need to be while
we're here in europe , whether it be in
Africa wherever we need to deploy . Two
were able to get there at a faster pace
and would be a stateside to achieve
this . U . S . Army europe and Africa
sets the essential conditions necessary
and is prepared to serve as a combined
joint force land component command to
fight and win across the full spectrum
of military operations . From
contingency response to large scale
ground combat operations .
Mhm . Us army europe and Africa
sets the theater to ensure the agile
flow of forces into and throughout both
the African and european theaters to
respond to crisis if called upon . Yeah
because our allies and partners are key
to the U . S . Army's overall strength .
The command builds and sustained ,
strong relationships and promotes
multinational military interoperability
and capacity building . I I really love
being able to get hands on intimate
training with other host station or
allies . I've trained with the polish
latvians , romanians , bosnians ,
Georgian army . Um , and it's really
unique and diverse opportunity to meet
and trained with host nation allies .
They get to see a different fighting
force and a different set of tactics .
You get the train against guys that
you're not used to training against and
uh it's just good for everybody . Mm
hmm . The U . S . Army europe and
Africa tiered exercise program builds
readiness , enhances interoperability
and strengthens relationships by
providing a joint multinational
environment to prepare allies and
partners to train as they fight . We do
train a lot , we're trying to fight and
we're trying to win . And the reason
why we do this to make sure that we're
always ready mission capable and we
trained a lot without highlight
countries . So that way we're all on
the same page , were all able to defend
each other and we're already two
available at a moment's notice . Mhm .
Training together now builds
relationships and provide shared
understanding when conflict occurs .
There's no better way to understand how
somebody fights than actually fight
alongside them . So you're not reading
about their doctrine , you're actually
fighting with them .
Us european and African defence
concerns are inseparable as part of a
stable international order . Together ,
these continents face a growing number
of transnational threats .
Us army , europe and Africa will remain
at the center of the framework for
strong deterrence and defence posture
on both continents , our continued
presence strengthens the security and
stability in the region , provides the
physical deterrents necessary to
counter threats to us interests and
honors our international commitments .
Our presence proves to our allies and
our partners that we're here for the
long haul , meeting people from other
armies and , you know , being able to
fellowship with not only the people in
the military with the locals that are ,
you know , out in the towns and the
people is really a humbling experience .
And uh , it's really a great , you know ,
opportunity . So not only , you know ,
do what you do for the military , but
represent , you know , America at its
best , we take pride in what we do and
I really enjoyed being a part of this
organization . Yeah . Mhm .
