Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Tuesday that the US military would increase its presence in Germany, recommitting the US to the NATO alliance in a reversal from the previous administration’s plans to withdraw troops from the country.

The US will permanently station “approximately 500 additional US personnel in the Wiesbaden area” of Germany and will be on the ground “as early as fall,” Austin said during a news conference in Berlin.

“This planned increase in US personnel underscores our commitment to Germany and the entire NATO alliance,” he added.

Austin’s announcement comes amid US and NATO’s concerns over the increase in Russian troops on Ukraine’s eastern border, which amount to more Russian troops than any time since 2014 when the peninsula of Crimea was annexed the White House.

In his announcement Tuesday, Austin said the new personnel in Germany “will strengthen deterrence and defence in Europe, and they will augment our existing abilities to prevent conflict.”

He said the forces would “create more space capabilities, more cyber and more electronic warfare capabilities in Europe” and “greatly improve our ability to surge forces at a moment’s notice to defend our allies.”

Asked if this was a message to Russia, Austin replied, “Let me assure you that it’s a message to NATO, and that message is that we support NATO to the fullest extent.”

“And most importantly, we value the relationship with our partner here in Germany. And so we will continue to strengthen our partnership and our alliance,” he said.

Germany’s Minister of Defense Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer welcomed the announcement of an additional 500 US troops stationed in Germany as “happy news” and said the US commitment to NATO is “a crucial pillar for our freedom and peace.”

“Our cooperation is all the more important, important in times where the security and defence architecture has come under pressure in many parts of the world,” she said, appearing alongside Austin Tuesday.
