Europe and the US
One of the complaints of the Trump administration has been that the US always has to provide for European security and Europeans talk a lot but they don't really step up with any sort of meaningful military capabilities or presence. So I think it's important, even if it's just as you said a handful of forces who are there for exercises, it's an important signal to the US that says 'alright, we hear you. You allege there's a security gap, so we're going to step forward, we're going be present in the region'. I think the trick is now the Europeans, having made these announcements around more diplomatic presence, more military presence, they have to follow through."
