 The Third Division Sustainment Brigade is going on a nine-month deployment as part of a NATO mission to assure allies and deter adversaries in Europe. This is a phenomenal opportunity for our soldiers to increase interoperability between ourselves and our multinational counterparts along with multi-composition forces from the U.S. They are some of the Third Infantry Division's nearly 4,500 soldiers soon deploying as part of a rotational force under the Army's Fifth Corps headquarters to reinforce NATO's Eastern flink. It's more about being present. Interoperability of NATO allies serves as a deterrence, our ability to work and fight together. We are stronger together. Training in Europe provides towards the opportunity to really be able to stretch ourselves and to be able to train when increasing our lines of communication over time and space and really be able to practice and hone our trade. The dog-faced soldiers will build readiness through training, both as a unit and alongside allied forces. We are embarking upon a tremendous opportunity to set the stage for the future, so we must win on our watch.
