Obering to Recommend U.S. European Site Within “Months”

August 15, 2006 :: AFP :: News

Lieutenant General Henry “Trey” Obering, director of the Missile Defense Agency, announced today that he expects to make his recommendation within months for the location of a U.S. missile defense site in Europe. Speaking in Huntsville, Alabama, Obering emphasized that the site would protect the U.S. and Europe against the threat of a long-range missile attack from Iran. He added that other factors would also be considered, such as soil conditions for missile silos, existing infrastructure to support the installations, and possible future sites for X-band radars. Obering did not specify exactly when he planned to make his recommendation, but noted that MDA planned to deploy 10 interceptor missiles in Europe by 2011. (Article)
