I applaud NATO for addressing Russian aggression and the threat to the Baltic States, but this seems like little more than a token gesture to me. I don't think that a unit such as the one briefly outlined in the article could realistically stymie a concerted Russian attack on any/all of the its former Baltic republics or Ukraine proper, especially if the U.S. contingent is based in Italy. But hey, it's a start, I guess.
