| NATO leaders in Wales where NATO was Re-positioned and the Spearhead Attack Force to confront Russia increasing influence established |
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) today re-positioned its stance from a passive defensive position to an active offensive position, to combat growing Russian influence in the Baltic region. At NATO summit in Wales, NATO announced the formation of the very high readiness Spearhead Force that could quickly deploy to various parts of the world.
Announcing this, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said, the "Spearhead Force would be made up of several thousand land troops ready to deploy within a few days. The troops would be backed by air, sea and special forces support, he said, with a command and control center and extra equipment in Eastern Europe."
