Russia does not want to make a mistake that would cause the US to enter the war because they know we would kick their asses rather quickly and violently. NATO countries conducted a huge logistics exercise to field units from the US and Europe called Steadfast Defender 24. It consisted of over 90,000 service members. Here is some background information:
- US V Corps HQ Forward is located at Poznan, Poland. The US Task Force Commander is a US Army LTG.
- Thousands of US vehicles have been shipped to Poland last year.
- If the US enters the war V Corps will stand up Infantry and Armor Divisions to include requisite units from the other Branches of Military.
- NATO forces will fall under control of V Corps. This is a tangent - no other NATO military has the experience the US Military has at planning, deploying, command and controlling forces that are hundreds of thousands in size.
Steadfast Defender 24 is broken down into two phases.
Phase I - Focus on sending US forces to Europe and falling in place of the prepositioned vehicles.
Phase II - Generating and deploying NATO forces to augment US V Corps.
This exercise will give US V Corps and NATO Militaries numerous lessons learned. They will ask what was planned, what really happened, and how to shrink the delta.
