The reactivated V Corps reflects a focus in the US National Defense Strategy on forward deployment to counter adversaries and improve readiness in the event of a conflict with a near-peer rival power.

The new V Corps forward command post for US Army Europe (USAREUR) will be fully operational in November 2021.

USAREUR activated the forward HQ in October 2020 following a decision to base the unit in Poznan, Poland.

A spokesperson from USAREUR confirmed to Shephard that it began stationing personnel forward on a rotational basis in September 2020 to focus on structural improvements and operate the forward command post.

There are plans ‘to grow to approximately 200 personnel by the 2Q of FY2022’, the spokesperson added.
