Such a tiny force is pointless. I can already see the red Freepers saying this justifies a Russian invasion.

Forward stationing of NATO forces is a strong statement, not pointless.

Such a tiny force is pointless. It's a trip wire, much as the Cold War-era US force in West Germany was only supposed to slow the Russians down. Its principal use is as a sacrificial lamb. A Russian attack on that force theoretically means Russia is at war with the US, triggering the transport of hundreds of thousands of US troops and associated equipment to the theater of war.
