US to deploy more troops to Estonia
The United States will deploy additional infantry troops to Estonia “in the coming weeks” to enhance defenses on NATO’s eastern flank, Estonian defense officials said Thursday.
The deployment consists of a U.S. infantry company — a unit typically consisting of 80 to 250 soldiers, Estonia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement. In addition, US will deploy High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), as well as associated command and control equipment and systems.
