American military troops responding to a future crisis in Eastern Europe will now have enough combat-ready equipment waiting for them in Poland to supply a U.S. armored brigade.
On Wednesday, Polish and U.S. officials formally opened the Long-Term Equipment Storage and Maintenance Complex in Powidz, about 160 miles west of Warsaw.
“The strategic partnership with the United States and Poland’s active membership in the North Atlantic Alliance are the pillars of our homeland’s security,” said Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak. “This base is important because thanks to this, we increase our deterrence capabilities, and we also show solidarity within NATO.”
“This facility will ensure we can continue to be fast. It will allow us to deploy an entire armored brigade combat team in an expeditious manner,” Ambassador Brzezinski said. “It will significantly cut down on deployment timelines.”
