The first of 2,000 U.S. soldiers newly deployed to Europe have arrived in Germany and Poland, military officials said, as part of the U.S. effort to buttress NATO's eastern flank as Russia gathers yet more forces along Ukraine's borders.

The troops arriving in Germany are 300 members of the 18th Airborne Corps, who will help to support joint task force headquarters operations there. Both units are based at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

And in Poland, officers from the U.S. Army — including Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue, the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division who was the last U.S. soldier to depart Afghanistan — arrived early Saturday at the Rzeszow-Jasionka Airport in the southeastern part of the country, roughly 50 miles from the Ukraine border.
