Gen. Raymond Odierno, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, speaks with members of the media at the Hohenfels Army Airfield where he expressed, “For the time being, the Army has no plans to withdraw any more troops from Germany”. This was during a visit to exercise Combined Resolve III at the Hohenfels Training Area (Germany), Nov. 4, 2014. Combined Resolve III is a U.S. Army Europe-directed multinational exercise at the Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels Training Areas, including more than 4,000 participants from NATO and partner nations. Combined Resolve III is designed to provide a complex training scenario that focuses on multinational unified land operations and reinforces the U.S. commitment to NATO and Europe. The exercise features the U.S. Army’s Regionally Aligned Force for Europe -- the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division -- which supports the U.S. European Command during Operation Atlantic Resolve.
