US and Germany Agree on Deployment of Long-Range Missiles to Germany in 2026

In light of NATO's Washington Summit, the United States and Germany have agreed on the US deployment of long-range missiles, including SM-6, Tomahawk, and developmental hypersonic missiles. The White House announced that the episodic deployment would begin in 2026. Stationed in Mainz-Kastel, Germany, since 2021, the US Army's 2nd Multi-Domain Task Force would command the missiles. The missiles possess a significantly longer range than those currently deployed to Europe.
