It is the sense of the Senate that— the 2018 National Defense Strategy identifies long-term strategic competition with the Russian Federation as a principal priority for the Department of Defense that requires increased and sustained investment; despite significant progress through the European Deterrence Initiative, the current force posture of the United States is not yet sufficient to support the National Defense Strategy; due to the geostrategic location and capabilities of the armed forces of the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Poland is critical to deterring, defending against, and defeating Russian aggression against North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies in Central and Eastern Europe; and the United States should increase the persistent presence of United States forces in the Republic of Poland, including key combat enabler units such as warfighting headquarters elements— to enhance deterrence against Russian aggression; and to reduce the risk of executing Department of Defense contingency plans.
