U.S. soldiers are deploying to Europe amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, some with barely a week's notice to ensure bills would be paid and make arrangements for relatives to take care of their children and pets. Dozens of soldiers from the Army's 3rd Infantry Division based at Fort Stewart, Georgia, boarded a charter flight Wednesday to Germany.
After Russia launched its attack on Ukraine last week, the entire brigade was ordered to Hohenfels, Germany, where it will gather its weapons and vehicles and train before potentially deploying to bolster NATO defenses on its eastern flank.
