The US military says it's preparing a massive exercise early next year in Europe involving 20,000 soldiers from the US, the largest deployment across the Atlantic in more than 25 years for training.
US European Command said Monday the "Defender Europe 20" exercise from April to May 2020 will support NATO objectives "to build readiness within the alliance and deter potential adversaries."
The military says the exercise "confirms that the U.S. commitment to NATO and the defense of Europe remains ironclad."
