Poland has said it is ready to further expand the presence of US forces on its territory, as Washington weighs a potential redeployment of troops from Germany and reviews its global military footprint.<\/p>\n
Deputy Defence Minister Pawe\u0142 Zalewski said that Warsaw is in ongoing discussions with Washington and is open to both an increase in rotational deployments and the establishment of a more permanent US military presence, Caliber.Az<\/a> reports via<\/a> Polish media.<\/p>\n The comments come as the Pentagon prepares to conclude a global force posture review expected in June.<\/p>\n According to US defence planning, around 5,000 American troops could be withdrawn from Germany within the next 6\u201312 months. US President Donald Trump has not ruled out the possibility that some of those forces could be repositioned in Poland, which has emerged in recent years as one of Washington\u2019s key security partners on NATO\u2019s eastern flank.<\/p>\n Zalewski stressed that any final decision would rest with the United States, but said there is \u201cpolitical consensus\u201d in Poland in favour of strengthening cooperation. \u201cOur intention is to increase US military capabilities in Poland and along the eastern flank,\u201d he said in Brussels, adding that American troops are \u201cwarmly welcomed\u201d in the country.<\/p>\n He also suggested that a wider US presence would reinforce broader European security, pointing to rising tensions along NATO\u2019s eastern borders with Russia and Belarus.<\/p>\n Discussions between Warsaw and Washington have reportedly included not only troop deployments but also infrastructure investments that could support long-term basing. Zalewski said several potential locations are under consideration, with proposals coming from local authorities. He did not confirm specific sites but indicated that existing military and transport hubs, including Wroc\u0142aw-Strachowice airport, could play a role.<\/p>\n Poland already hosts around 10,000 US troops under both permanent and rotational arrangements. Permanent US facilities include the missile defence site in Redzikowo, the forward command of the US Army\u2019s V Corps in Pozna\u0144, logistical infrastructure in the same city, and the prepositioned equipment site in Powidz.<\/p>\n Rotational forces, including an armoured combat group, are primarily based across western Poland in locations such as \u017baga\u0144, \u015awi\u0119tosz\u00f3w, Boles\u0142awiec, Skwierzyna, and Toru\u0144.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Poland has said it is ready to further expand the presence of US forces on its territory, as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[139,145,144,140,143,138,142,141,137,9],"class_list":{"0":"post-6127","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-poland","8":"tag-analysis-of-azerbaijan","9":"tag-azerbaijan","10":"tag-baku","11":"tag-important-news-of-azerbaijan","12":"tag-international-experts","13":"tag-interviews","14":"tag-interviews-with-azerbaijani-analysts","15":"tag-news-from-baku","16":"tag-news-of-azerbaijan","17":"tag-poland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
