Talk:Operation Atlantic Resolve

Politics section

[edit]

Proposed changes to "reaction" section since this is heavily political and attempts to move such away from it appears to be partisan, ideological editing.

-In January 2017, some in the American media called the deployment a political tool of the outgoing Obama administration. (see: http://hawaiitribune-herald.com/commentary/their-views/troop-movements-curious-timing-us-and-nato-border-buildup ) That month a poll by YouGov related to the operation showed that 64% of Americans, 61% of Britains, and 60% of French and Germans expect an armed conflict resulting in World War Three. (see: http://www.reflexiondz.net/SELON-UN-SONDAGE-DE-L-INSTITUT-INTERNATIONAL-YOUGOV-2017-vers-une-3eme-guerre-mondiale-_a44972.html )

-In Italy, the Five Star Movement introduced legislation to withdraw the country from NATO in January 2017, citing this operation. (see: http://www.linkiesta.it/it/blog-post/2017/01/13/il-movimento-5-stelle-vuole-svendere-litalia-alla-russia-di-putin/25031/ )

-In Germany, several leading politicians from the Alternative for Germany, Social Democratic Party, and Die Linke expressed dismay over the operation in January 2017, citing infringement of national sovereignty, anti-war sentiments, and pro-cooperation with Russia. (see: http://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/truppenbewegung-in-brandenburg-verlegung-von-us-truppen-provoziert-politische-debatte/19241446.html )(see: https://www.jungewelt.de/2017/01-09/001.php ) (see: http://www.sz-online.de/sachsen/us-militaer-rollt-durch-sachsen-3585021.html ) (see: https://www.pnn.de/brandenburg-berlin/1147584/ ) Die Linke leader called for a new security apparatus to replace NATO, which includes Russia. (see: http://www.mo4ch.com/dissolution-of-nato-military-alliance-with-russia-german-left-leader-echoes-trump/ )

-On January 7, 2017 protests occurred in Germany against the logistical support the government was giving to the operation, and in the continuing days sparked political annoyance. (see: http://www.mo4ch.com/tanks-do-not-create-peace-german-politicians-up-in-arms-over-natos-buildup-at-russian-borders/ ) (see: [http://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/oldenburg_ostfriesland/Proteste-gegen-Panzer-Verlegung-in-Bremerhaven,atlanticresolve100.html ) (see: http://www.wetter.de/cms/demonstration-gegen-verlegung-von-us-truppen-4063636.html )(see: http://www.rbb-online.de/politik/beitrag/2017/01/warum-eine-us-panzerbrigade-durch-brandenburg-rollt.html ) On January 9, 2017 protests grew as hundreds gathered at a Lehnin military installation. (see: http://www.rbb-online.de/politik/beitrag/2017/01/us-soldaten-in-osteuropa-truppenverlegung-durch-brandenburg.html (see: https://www.welt.de/regionales/berlin/article160987497/Protest-gegen-US-Truppenverlegung.html )

This week a rotation happens, but this time they are using the Dutch harbour of Vlissingen, instead of Bremerhaven. No protests or anything happened. 2001:1C03:4918:A100:94B4:9A7:5829:3D1F (talk) 19:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

31st Fighter Wing = 555th FS between Feb 2022 and Jun 2022

 Not done: The reference surmises that these aircraft were a part of this operation. But this is the source's best guess, not a substantiated fact.  Spintendo  04:14, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The first source states "aircraft belonging to the 555th Fighter Squadron of the 31st .... it’s not clear when they were committed the NATO mission." The seocnd source indicates deployment of a Squadron of the Fighter Wing, not the Fighter Wing. The photo is dated July 2022, whihc is after dates suggested by the requested text.

As reported by [[USEUCOM]] in the first quarter of 2025, there were no mission objectives and endstate alterations to the Operation after U.S. [[Second Trump presidency|administration change]].<ref name=OAR1/>{{rp|5 Infobox}} ==Aims and funding== Operation Atlantic Resolve is a multifaceted military operation by the [[USEUCOM]] and allies to enhance security and reassure NATO and [[Eastern Europe]]an partners. Though OAR mission statement is classified, its aims include:<ref name=OAR1/>{{rp|5 Infobox}} * Enhancing [[deterrence theory|deterrence]] posture along NATO's eastern flank. * Multinational training events in various countries to build readiness, increase [[interoperability]], and enhance bonds between ally and partner militaries * Three rotations services: armored, aerial, and sustainment task force rotations * Land persistent presence: [[U.S. Army Europe and Africa]] leads the Atlantic Resolve efforts to bring units based in the U.S. to Europe for nine months at a time * Three [[Battlespace|domains]] exercises: [[military exercise]]s and training on land, in the air, and at sea, while sustaining and augmenting rotational presence across Europe * Building partner capacity in [[Georgia]], [[Moldova]], and [[Ukraine]] so they can better work alongside the United States and NATO, as well as provide for their own defense. The "heel-to-toe" rotations of forces in Europe are part of OAR. The [[European Deterrence Initiative]], with [[USAI]] specifically, is the mechanism through which activities under OAR are organized and funded.<ref name=CRS/>
