Some further information on the upcoming US Army Europe–Africa Command: Its headquarter will be in Germany an Army spokesperson stated to the author. A detail which was so far a bit uncertain from the previous reporting – e. g. Defense News. That means quite likely Wiesbaden where US Army Europe Command is already established. An obvious choice as its commanding general Christopher Cavoli recently received its fourth star an was announced as the leader of the new combined command. But in the context of the US troop withdrawl from Germany – labeled by US president Donald Trump as „punishment“ of a recusant ally – such details are of interest. The aims of the army with that merger: „This consolidation improves the Army’s ability to meet African and European strategic and operational objectives outlined in the National Defense Strategy while improving global response and optimizing the command, control and rapid transition to large-scale ground combat operations of land forces if needed.“ Especially the finally mentioned operative interest shows the focus on maneuver warfare aka the European scenario.
