relating to ,europe and ,,nato #abfa4 ,sense of ,congress on ,united ,states defense posture in ,europe following the further invasion of ,ukraine ,it is the sense of ,congress as follows3 7#a7 ,the further invasion of ,ukraine presents a sea change to the security environment in ,europe that requires a long-term shift in the force posture of the ,united ,states and its allies1 in order to ensure the maintenance of collective deterrence4 ,as ,general ,milley1 ,chairman of the ,joint ,chiefs1 recently noted1 ,we are witness to the greatest threat to peace and security of ,europe and perhaps the world in my #db years of service in uniform4 ,the ,russian invasion of ,ukraine is threatening to undermine not only ,european peace and stability but global peace and stability4 ''' ,we are at a pivot point in the geostrategic history of ,europe and perhaps the globe44 7#b7 ,adjustments to force posture in ,europe must be commensurate to this challenge4 ,alongside allied investments1 it is necessary for the ,united ,states to alter its force posture to establish additional permanently stationed and continuous rotational forces along ,europe's eastern flank4 ,given the current conditions1 it would be untenable for the ,united ,states to seek to revert to ,united ,states force levels and positioning present in ,europe before ,russia's further invasion of ,ukraine1 to rely solely on allied forces for further force posture enhancements1 or adopt a path to transition away from investments in ,europe through the ,european ,deterrence ,initiative 7,,edi71 except for exceptional cases4 7#c7 ,as ,general ,tod ,wolters1 ,commander of ,u4,s4 ,european ,command1 has stated1 investments made through ,,edi since #bjad have proved essential to the ,united ,states ability to respond to the ,ukraine crisis1 deploying units in #e days that would have taken as long as #ba days4 ,general ,wolters further stated1 ,to take an ,armored ,brigade ,combat ,team and launch it from the continental ,united ,states1 and put it on ,european turf1 and have the tanks that comprise that ,brigade ,combat ,team to shoot1 move1 and communicate and fire on range in one week is an amazing accomplishment4 ,and that was facilitated by those ,army ,prepositioned ,stocks and it was practiced in previous exercises which are part of the ,,edi fund4 ,i would just say that when we demonstrated to the ,european community1 and to the ,,nato community1 and to the world how well we can shoot1 move1 and communicate and transition a large force from ,,conus to ,europe at that pace1 it's something that demonstrates the great value of ,,edi44 7#d7 ,past decisions made by the ,department of ,defense and ,congress about prepositioned stocks1 mobility1 and funding for ,,edi led directly to this ability to quickly reinforce the area of operations in this crisis1 and ,,edi investments will be crucial for adaptation to the new ,european security environment4 ,the ,department of ,defense should continue to strongly support ,,edi investments with a focus on adapting deterrence to the new security environment and incorporating lessons learned from the conflict in ,ukraine1 and it should not seek a path to ,,edi's sunset4 7#e7 ,the ,united ,states recognizes that strong alliances and partnerships are crucial to the maintenance of ,united ,states national and global security4 ,the ,,nato alliance has grown more robust and more united in response to ,russia's aggression in ,ukraine4 ,members of ,,nato have announced substantial changes in their defense commitments1 adopting measures to meet and exceed their ,wales ,pledge commitments to spend #b percent of ,gross ,domestic ,product on defense and increasing commitments to ,,nato battle group and air policing missions1 while sending vital defense assistance to ,ukraine4 ,congress commends such members of ,,nato for their adoption and sustainment of these efforts4 ,such commitments are vital to the long-term effort required to maintain deterrence in the ,european theater4 ,the ,united ,states should continue to work with allies on complementary investments to establish in ,europe a mature1 fully integrated deterrence platform capable of responding to the expanded threat of ,russian aggression and supporting ,,nato allies' ongoing efforts to collectively resist direct and hybrid threats to shared values1 interests1 and ideals4 7#f7 ,the ,united ,states should also redouble efforts to assist ,,nato allies1 particularly on ,europe's eastern periphery1 in modernizing and integrating their defense capabilities taking into account lessons from ,russia's war in ,ukraine1 including efforts to provide artillery1 ,,mlrs1 ,,manpads1 air defenses1 and other capabilities4 7#g7 ,as it reinforces deterrence1 the ,united ,states should recognize the acute risks now facing allies on ,russia's periphery and pursue national security investments and strategies commensurate to the challenge1 including additional ,,edi programs1 in the ,black ,sea1 the ,baltics1 the ,arctic1 and ,central ,europe1 in order to maintain the credibility of the sacred obligation under ,article #e of the ,north ,atlantic ,treaty to defend every inch of ,,nato territory44 7#h7 ,likewise1 the ,united ,states should keep in mind the particularly significant challenges posed to non-,,nato ,european partners and seek security strategies to continue cooperation and support their sovereign rights1 while also pursuing security policies that support stability in areas of substantial malign effort such as the ,western ,balkans4 7#i7 ,the ,united ,states continues to recognize the importance of the long-term ,baltic ,security ,initiative assistance plan that the ,department of ,defense is carrying out under section #ccc of title #aj1 ,united ,states ,code1 and the crucial role that such investments play in deterring ,russian aggression in that region4 #abfb4 ,sense of ,congress on ,,nato membership for
