    German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius on Monday has called the agreement on a permanent deployment of a German brigade in Lithuania a “historic moment,” adding it is the first time that Germany permanently stations troops outside its borders.

    It might be the first time you know, I haven't looked, but I can't think of a time they did.

    No idea but I'm pretty sure last time was intended to be as permanent as this one is.
