In a joint statement on Wednesday, the governments of Germany and the United States announced plans for 'episodic deployments' of long-range missile capabilities from the Multi-Domain Task Force in Germany, starting in 2026. This move is part of the preparation for the enduring stationing of these capabilities in the future.

According to the joint statement, the conventional long-range fires units will eventually include SM-6, Tomahawk, and developmental hypersonic weapons. These weapons offer significantly longer ranges compared to current land-based fires in Europe. The deployment of these advanced capabilities is intended to showcase the United States' commitment to NATO and its role in European integrated deterrence.
