Poland is seeking to transform the U.S. military’s largely rotational presence in the country into a permanent deployment with up to 15,000 American troops, a senior Polish official said this week, reported Stars & Stripes. Marcin Przydacz, a minister in Poland’s presidential office, said Warsaw is in discussions with the United States about expanding the American military presence beyond current deployment plans.
“Our ambition is 15,000, while the minimum version is 11,000,” Przydacz said in an interview with Polish broadcaster RMF FM. “The final decisions are still ahead of us.”
