Summary/Abstract: Atlantic Resolve was and remains the U.S. European Command and U.S. Army Europe’s decisive and audacious response to Russian aggression in the Ukraine in February and March 2014. USAREUR is the operational-level Army force, the Army Service Component Command, assigned to EUCOM, with a 51-nation area of responsibility (AOR) corresponding to EUCOM’s. USAREUR “set[s] the theater and the joint operations area for the employment of Army forces for both contingencies and campaigns,” and to achieve this goal, “must anticipate, plan, request, receive, train, sustain, and support redeployment of land power within its AOR or joint operations area (JOA).”
