The U.S. is canceling the deployment of an Army artillery unit that was created just months ago to expand long-range strike capabilities in Europe. The 3rd Battalion, 12th Field Artillery Regiment will not deploy to Germany, according to @Osinttechnical.
The reversal comes shortly after the battalion's activation. No reason for the cancellation was provided in the initial report. The move affects plans to bolster American long-range fires presence on the continent.
The 3rd Battalion, 12th Field Artillery Regiment represented one element of broader efforts to enhance ground-based long-range precision strike options available to U.S. forces in Europe. Its creation occurred within the past year as part of ongoing adjustments to Army force posture.
The battalion's deployment had been expected to contribute additional launch capacity for long-range munitions. Cancellation of the move to Germany leaves the existing distribution of such capabilities unchanged for the time being.
