Washington Post: U.S., NATO countries begin largest military exercise in eastern Europe since Cold War

The biggest military exercise in eastern Europe since the Cold War kicked off in earnest Tuesday as roughly 2,000 NATO paratroopers were set to fill the skies over Poland.

The operation, called Anakonda 2016, is billed as a Polish-led training exercise and will span roughly 10 days.
