There seemed to be A LOT of interest in my video about the German brigade coming to Lithuania. It’s pretty big news - so I’m not TOO surprised. With this in mind, I thought it would also be interesting to look at the other soldiers stationed in Lithuania: The Americans. In fact, approximately every nine months, a new batch of American soldiers arrive in Lithuania to relieve the American units already posted here. The Americans are based in Pabrade, and are somewhat independent of the German-led NATO multinational battlegroup based over in Rukla.
