European Reassurance Initiative projects on track in Estonia, throughout Europe
Construction continues on U.S. Army Europe-funded European Reassurance Initiative projects managed by the Corps of Engineers Europe District Sept. 7 in Tapa, Estonia. Projects including a railhead upgrade, and loading and staging areas; improvements to training ranges; motor pool wash racks and maintenance bays; and new and refurbished vehicle storage and maintenance buildings will support USAREUR, the Estonian Ministry of Defense and NATO partners. Future projects for the Army at Tapa and U.S. Air Forces in Europe at Amari Air Base are in the planning stages. In addition to Estonia, the district will manage ERI work in Bulgaria, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. The district has more than 260 projects totaling approximately $500 million to improve airfields, military quarters, operations centers, training ranges and support facilities. This work enables U.S. and NATO partners to efficiently continue training requirements to help ensure peace and security in Europe.
