Berlin, March 25, IRNA -- The US military is planning to withdraw as
many as half of the 70,000 soldiers deployed in Germany as part of a
major global realignment of American troops, the website of Der
Spiegel magazine reported Thursday.
The secret Pentagon plans envision the creation of smaller
military bases in several East European and Central Asia countries.
Some substantial US military hubs in Germany, among them Ramstein
Air Base, would however remain open.
The US Army would pull out over 60 percent of its 56,000 soldiers
in Germany, according to American military officials.
Germany is a major logistic center for US military operations in
Iraq, Afghanistan and Central Asia.
