Some 3,000 members of a 3rd Infantry Division brigade combat team will begin flowing into the region next week as part of a 90-day deployment to participate in multinational training missions with NATO partners in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the department said.
Army Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said the unit would take over responsibility for the land forces training mission from the U.S. Army-Europe's 2nd Cavalry Regiment, which will depart later in March.
Warren said the rotation was part of the U.S. military's Operation Atlantic Resolve, aimed at demonstrating commitment to NATO allies in light of Russia's aggression in Ukraine.

Here's the part of that story that I like best, SSG Norman Lihou:
This mission is "aimed at demonstrating commitment to NATO allies in light of Russia's aggression in Ukraine."
I think we need this. We need to remind Russia - and our allies - that we remain committed to NATO, that we will be there, and that we will stand up against aggression. That's the message this mission sends -- strength and resolve.
