The White House released a joint statement on July 10th, 2024 just before the NATO Summit that said the following:

"The United States will begin episodic deployments of the long-range fires capabilities of its Multi-Domain Task Force in Germany in 2026, as part of planning for enduring stationing of these capabilities in the future. 

When fully developed, these conventional long-range fires units will include SM-6, Tomahawk, and developmental hypersonic weapons, which have significantly longer range than current land-based fires in Europe. 

Exercising these advanced capabilities will demonstrate the United States’ commitment to NATO and its contributions to European integrated deterrence."
