In Quotes

“Forward-deployed forces are absolutely critical. There is no substitute for them -- you don’t get the responsiveness you need from Stateside forces. Our forward-stationed forces establish those relationships -- those relationships equal the access we need so we can do the things we need to do in Europe, the eastern Mediterranean and northern Africa. Without that access, without that trust, we can’t accomplish the mission.” -
Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, Supreme Allied Commander Europe and commander, U.S European Command
