Hyten: Force posture change. Deterring War and maintaining International Order. Clean message to opposition, deter military aggression to US and allies.

Remarkable US Service People, incredible (praise). Stability for them is top priority. Thanks to Service Men and Woman. No one questions the capability for them to defend the US.

6 month operation.

Deter against Russia. Improve NATO and EUCOM. Combat command, speed and clarity of decision making.

AFRICOM will move to location to be determined.

Questions:
How much will it cost? Who moved within weeks?
A: several billion, spread out over time.
Units in States, Congress decides, based on housing.
Quickly, weeks. Requires diplomacy.
Pompeo working on that.

Q: Where in Germany and their reaction?
A: General Walters answers: Stuttgart to Belgium.
Also Spec Ops in Stuttgart to Belgium.
AFRICOM sites to be determined.
Cheese (?) Complex refining to accept moves.

Q: Deterring Russia?
A: Enduring presence allows focus on mission and capabilities. Striker brigade in Black Sea will have more flexibility with new format of better rotation.
