The US Army is storing equipment from its European Activity Set (EAS) at three locations in Lithuania, Bulgaria and Romania, to support Operation Atlantic Resolve.
The US Army Europe (USAREUR) and Army Materiel Command (AMC) will store vehicles and equipment at Novo Selo Training Area in Bulgaria, Mumaiciai in Lithuania, and Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base in Romania.
The equipment is currently at the Coleman worksite at Rhineland-Pfalz in Germany, and will be moved to the new locations this month.
The EAS consists of roughly 12,000 pieces of equipment, used by US-based rotational forces for training in Europe.
Following a mid-2014 announcement, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has signed agreements with respective host nations.
