More forces in Europe. The Army’s V Corps will permanently be headquartered in Poland as the U.S. increases its European presence in reaction to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Defense One reports. More troops will also be conducting “heel-to-toe” deployments and training exercises with Baltic allies.
Final order. The Army placed a $2.3 billion order with Sikorsky for at least 120 Black Hawk helicopters, possibly the last time the service will buy the venerable aircraft. Service leaders are expected to pick its replacement in the next few months, Defense One reports.
New Medal of Honor recipients. President Joe Biden will award the nation’s highest military decoration to four former soldiers for their actions during the Vietnam War, the White House announced. Dwight Birdwell and Dennis Fujii, both former Spc. 5s; and John Duffy, a retired major, will receive the Medal at a July 5 ceremony. The other recipient, Staff Sgt. Edward Kaneshiro, was killed in Vietnam a few months after the actions that he is receiving the medal for.
