BREMERHAVEN, Germany -- Tanks, trucks and other equipment are scheduled to arrive in Europe Jan. 6 through 9, beginning a nine-month rotation of U.S. Army forces supporting Atlantic Resolve.

The arrival of troops and equipment from 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, out of Fort Carson, Colorado, marks the beginning of the continuous presence of an ABCT and back-to-back rotations of U.S. troops and equipment in Europe.

After the equipment arrives at Bremerhaven, Germany, it will move by rail, commercial line haul and military convoy to Poland consolidating near Drawsko Pomorskie and Zagan training areas. The personnel and equipment will later be relocated throughout the region for training and exercises with European allies.

Media are invited to attend the offload and movement of equipment on Jan. 8 at 2:30 p.m. which will include a question and answer period with U.S. military leaders. Because of time considerations, we will be unable to conduct one-on-one interviews.

Media with questions or who are interested in covering this event must RSVP by 5 p.m. on Jan. 6 to the 21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs Office by email to donald.e.peters.mil@mail.mil. When responding, please provide full name, organization, citizenship, place of birth, date of birth and passport number in order to coordinate gate access. You must RSVP and bring passport and press credentials to gain access to the port facility.

Note: Times are subject to change. In the event that offload times change, you will be provided an updated meeting time via email.
