🇱🇻 NAMEJS across Latvia 🇱🇻
✅ The comprehensive State Defence Exercise NAMEJS has been taking place across Latvia since the beginning of September.
✅ The exercise brings together approximately 12,000 Latvian and Allied soldiers and National Guard members.
✅ Working together across various regions of Latvia, these efforts demonstrate our unity, readiness and determination to defend every part of Latvia.
✅ As NAMEJS continues, we look back at the past few weeks through photos by @Latvijas_armija

With the heightened debate about 🇺🇸force posture in Europe, and with Poland at the center, it was a great and timely opportunity to co-author this important article with @MeitzPL @TheNatlInterest about permanent basing of the right mix of 🇺🇸forces in Poland.
It’s not only about resetting deterrence, of course that’s crucial. It’s also about taking advantage of a generational opportunity to deepen force-integration with Poland, America’s most loyal, willing and increasingly capable Ally. It’s about rapidly turning Poland into a near-peer 🇺🇸Ally, which will be a game-changer for the defense of Europe.

”The German-Dutch 1GNC will assume the role of tactical NATO headquarters for Estonia and Latvia in the middle of this year.”
Het Duits-Nederlandse 1GNC krijgt medio dit jaar de rol van tactisch NAVO-hoofdkwartier voor Estland en Letland. Daarmee levert het hoofdkwartier een belangrijke bijdrage aan de afschrikking en verdediging aan de oostflank van het bondgenootschap. 👉 defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/2…

Poland signed a $2 billion contract for 146 more Borsuk infantry fighting vehicles. It's Poland's own design — built at home, replacing Soviet-era armor, and ordered in numbers that show Warsaw is serious about defending itself.

While this is important move by the members of Congress, it needs to be acknowledged that there’s little chance NDAA become law before October (realistically it might be December). Therefore the date for the report will be postponed, probably giving EUCOM another 90 days.
Proposed #NDAA27 draft would require @US_EUCOM’s Commander to deliver a report on U.S. global force posture with special emphasis on USEUCOM and the American military presence in Poland 🇵🇱.
A key element of the legislation is a review examining whether the rotational deployment of one or two U.S. Army Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs) in Poland should transition into a permanent stationing.

On 18 May 1944, Allied forces broke through the Gustav Line at Monte Cassino, a turning point in the Italian campaign.
The Polish II Corps, led by General Władysław Anders, played a decisive role in this victory. Their courage and sacrifice, symbolised by the Polish flag raised over the monastery ruins, remain an enduring part of Poland’s military legacy.
Monte Cassino also reminds us of the strong bond between Poland and the United Kingdom, forged in war and carried forward through shared values and cooperation.
Today, we remember those who fought and fell.
We will remember them.

Spent the day embedded with Polish troops from the 18th “Iron Division” along NATO’s border with Belarus.
What I saw was not a typical border operation. Armed patrols, electronic barriers, military convoys and soldiers describing what Poland calls a new kind of war: migration weaponized by Belarus and Russia to pressure Europe and NATO.

This is baloney. For starters Poland was not notified. Senior leaders contacted me yesterday saying they were blindsided. And… I’ve learned EUCOM did NOT say there was minimal risk by cancelling the deployment. This was a foolish and embarrassing course of events.
“The decision to withdraw troops follows a comprehensive, multilayered process that incorporates perspectives from key leaders in EUCOM and across the chain of command. This was not an unexpected, last-minute decision, and it would be false to report it as such.” -Acting Pentagon Press Secretary @JoelValdezDOW

The Pentagon blindsided Poland and pulled an armored brigade out of Eastern Europe while Russia is still waging war in Ukraine. This sends a weak message to Putin and is a slap in the face to our NATO allies. We need answers and accountability from DoD.

A memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth abruptly cancelled the deployment of 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team to Poland; the deployment later this year of a long range fires battalion to Germany; and directed the removal of multi-domain command personnel in Europe.
Prepared DOD talking points on the change viewed by CNN said the Europeans “have not stepped up when America needed them,” and that “recent Germany rhetoric has been inappropriate and unhelpful.”

The @DOTMARAD roll-on/roll-off ship MV Cape Texas arrived in Poland to deliver US Abrams tanks.
The ship has been holding off the Canary Islands waiting to discharge, and promoted some attention.

To combat 🇷🇺 shadow fleet on the Baltic Sea, we must:
➡️ sanction the states under which the vessels operate, as well as their owners
➡️ @NATO should maintain a permanent naval group in the Baltic Sea, comprising ships from all allies 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇫🇷
