Chairman Rogers opened the hearing calling it a critical moment, named Russia, Iran, and China as simultaneous threats, warned against a premature reduction of US forces in Europe, and argued for consultation with Congress under last year's NDA before any force reductions. He urged maintaining two rotational US armored brigades in Poland and suggested permanent stationing should be considered.
