Published 6 days, 9 hours ago
Description

The Pentagon is bypassing a crucial report on overseas troop deployments, the Global Posture Review, for the first time in decades. This move, which aligns with a pattern of sharing details after actions, has sparked frustration among lawmakers and allies. The reports absence hampers budgeting, strategy understanding, and oversight. Despite this, the Defense Department maintains its keeping everyone informed. The last review, in 2021, emphasized the Pacific and threats from China and Russia. Europes recent changes, like increased U.S. rotations after Russias Ukraine invasion, highlight the rapidly evolving situation. Allies express concern about surprises without a formal guide, but troop cuts in Europe are capped below 76,000 for over 45 days. The focus remains on power projection and partnerships that serve national needs.
