Summary/Abstract: The presence of US forces in Romania and Bulgaria within the agreed facilities and areas is regulated by bilateral agreements and subsequent implementation arrangements. For the American ally, the locations in Romania are attractive from the military-strategic, social and cultural points of view, as well as with regard to the existing infrastructures and logistic opportunities. On the other hand, one can notice positive social-economic effects resulting from the American forces’ presence in Romania and Bulgaria, and an enhancement of the regional security, including the energy one. The common training of Romanian, Bulgarian respectively, troops and the ones of the most powerful and trained armed forces in the Alliance and worldwide is beneficial for the improvement of interoperability and provides the American troops with the possibility for training in our ranges, the Bulgarian ones respectively.
