US to establish new special forces base in Albania

Abone Ol 

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced on Thursday that US Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) is establishing forward operating headquarters in the Balkan country.

The opening of a new US facility in Albania is part of an ongoing American effort to enhance its special operations capabilities as a “keystone” for stability in the region.

The headquarters will serve as a home base for country-wide military missions and allow US special operations troops more logistical flexibility and better access to regional transportation hubs.

According to SOCEUR commander Maj. Gen. David Tabor, Albania is the “best location” for a new special forces base since it allows the US military to move rapidly and train with allied forces within the Balkan region.
