As well inside europe to bolster nato allies on the eastern flank, and that kind of gets at your second question, which is we are still in consultation with the allies about what they might need, and so i dont have any decisions to read out in terms of specific locations, but we certainly have made it clear to the eastern flank allies that they are prepared to bolster capabilities if needed. again, i want to go back to a core foundation here, the bulk of the troops im talking about today are int...
