STUTTGART, Germany — The top U.S. military commander in Europe said Tuesday there are no immediate plans to cut troop levels in Europe beyond the 5,000 being pulled from Germany and Poland, but more reductions could be made down the road as allies bolster their own capabilities.

Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich, who heads U.S. European Command and serves as NATO’s supreme allied commander, said during a news conference in Brussels that the current plan to reduce U.S. forces won’t have an adverse effect on the alliance’s ability to defend territory along the eastern flank. One reason for that, he said, is Poland and the Baltic states have increased their own fighting capabilities over the past 4½ years.
