The US military will have a unique presence in Bulgaria, completely different from that seen so far across Europe, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and commander of American troops in Europe, General James Jones said upon his arrival in Bulgaria.
He conferred Tuesday with Defense Minister Nikolay Svinarov and Chief of Army Staff General Nikola Kolev over the plans of US commandment to locate small "mobile bases" in the Balkan country, unlike those existing until recently in Western Germany.
Their mobility can be also applied for operations within NATO's swift reaction forces, he pointed out.
General Jones has come to Bulgaria in the light of future stationing of US bases in the country. The Americans have shown interest tofor the grounds of Bezmer and Atia and also the firing ground at Novo Selo, near the town of Sliven, where special units can be drilled.
US plans envisage that Sliven's Novo Selo trains land troops, Yambol's Bezmer airport serves as air base, and Burgas' Atia offers the Pentagone a marine base.
The US will have four of five locations to choose from, General Jones said.
During his two-day visit, General Jones will personally visit the prospective military sites, including also the airports at Graf Ignatievo and the rocket-launching pad at Shabla.
Black Sea ports of Bulgaria, a full-fledged NATO member since April last year, have already been used by the US army during the Iraqi war in 2003.
General Jones last visited Bulgaria a year ago when he highly assessed the reforms in the Bulgarian Army as well as the work of the Balkan country's military forces participating in NATO peacekeeping missions. |
