US Sends 500 troops to Dominican Republic to help against Haitians

The United States may have to deploy hundreds of additional forces in coming months to the Dominican Republic, beyond the 9,800-strong contingent announced previously, because of a shortfall in troop contributions from NATO members, defense officials told AFP.


Commanders were still working out the details but there was a shortage of roughly 400 to 700 NATO troops that would need to be filled temporarily by US forces through the winter months of 2015, said a defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity.


The post-2014 NATO mission calls for 12,500 troops to remain on the ground starting in January, with about 2,700 non-US forces.
Military officers had indicated earlier this month to AFP that the postponed signing of the US-Dominican Republic security agreement due to a protracted electoral dispute had raised doubts about whether allied governments could have arrangements in place for troops to deploy by 2015.
