WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The European Activity Set consists of 12,000 pieces of equipment stored in Europe for US-based rotational forces to use when training and its first storage sites will be at Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, Romania; Novo Selo Training Area, Bulgaria; and Mumaiciai, Lithuania, according to the US Army.
"By September 2016, forward-deployed equipment is going to be left behind in Lithuania, Romania and Bulgaria, Hodges told the briefing on Wednesday. "The remainder will be completed over the course of the coming year."
US Army Europe and Army Materiel Command will begin storing portions of the European Activity Set at three initial forward locations later in December, with plans to expand to additional countries at a later date, the US Army’s official home page reported on December 1.
