"The alliance will demonstrate its ability to strengthen the Euro-Atlantic area through a transatlantic redeployment of forces from North America," the American general told reporters in Brussels after a two-day meeting of national defense ministers.
According to Cavoli, the troops will be sent from NATO allies and Sweden.
The Chairman of NATO's Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, said that the Alliance now has the most robust defense plans since the Cold War to "deter any enemy and defend every inch of its territory."
