The first 150 US troops arrived today in Swidwin, Poland. Soldiers pictured in front of a C-130J. No serials visible, but it must be an RS. The soldiers are a Company of 173rd Airborne Brigade. Further three Companys are to be based in each of the Baltic countries at least a year. The units rotate each month.

They must be followed by US Army helicopters.

No, I think he mentioned the number of the C-130 as 8614, which I think is correct....
