[QUOTE]The decision to go ahead with the [B]Rapid Trident exercise Sept. 16-26 [/B]is seen as a sign of the commitment of NATO states to support non-NATO member Ukraine while stopping well short of military intervention in the conflict.
"At the moment, we are still planning for (the exercise) to go ahead," U.S. Navy Captain Gregory Hicks, spokesman for the U.S. Army's European Command said on Tuesday.
In addition to staging air force exercises, the United States is moving tanks and 600 troops to Poland and the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for joint maneuvers in October, replacing a more lightly armed force of paratroopers.
But Rapid Trident will entail the first significant deployment of U.S. and other personnel to Ukraine since the crisis erupted.
The United States European Command (EUCOM) says the exercise this month will involve about [B]200 U.S. personnel[/B] as well as [B]1,100 others from Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Britain, Canada, Georgia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Romania and Spain. [/B]
While it involves many NATO members as well as countries such as Ukraine, who are part of NATO's broader "Partnership for Peace," the exercise is not formally a NATO drill.
More broadly, under a broad program titled "Operation Atlantic Resolve" [B]meant to show U.S. commitment to the European allies[/B], NATO is running what officials say is a ramped up version of its regular summer and autumn training schedule.
