#KingOfBattle, #Airborne! The storied @173rdAbnBde is a crucial forward-deployed capability for American forces. A 911-unit, the 173rd is always ready, and strategically positioned as America’s Europe-based High-Readiness Airborne Force. It should be no surprise that the 173rd ABN has a long-standing vital Allied-partnership with Poland’s - also storied - 6th Airborne “General Sosabowski” Brigade @_6BPD_ In 2014 when 🇺🇸 responds to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with #OperationAtlanticResolve #OAR the first nation we deploy to is Poland, with the 173rd ABN, which after it hits the ground, immediately links up and begins training/operational-coordination with its allied-partner 🇵🇱’s 6th ABN. Among its growing “multi-domain” war-fighting capabilities, Poland is a significant 🇺🇸artillery Ally, rapidly increasing artillery forces, working closely with @USArmyEURAF and #NATOAllies in artillery training/exercises. At 🇺🇸’s request, Poland joined the important #ASCA group, to enhance artillery interoperability and automated fire control. Poland always plays a key role in multiple Allied-artillery exercises including the massive 🇺🇸-led “Fires” Exercise #DYNAMICFRONT - with 🇵🇱 often serving as a host. At the request of 🇺🇸Army, Poland is expanding its maneuver and artillery training complexes. Poland operates/is acquiring dozens of 🇺🇸Army HIMARS, the #USAArmy’s state-of-the-art #LongRangePrecisionRocket Artillery system. As well, 🇵🇱 is upgrading its artillery force structure, and modernizing tubed-artillery capabilities including production of Poland’s own 155mm #SelfPropelled artillery - the #KRAB. Btw, besides fighter jets, air defense, and hundreds of tanks, Poland has given Ukraine a dozen, or more brand new KRAB systems. That says a lot about Poland’s commitment to Ukraine, America and to NATO. Per the 2020 🇺🇸 🇵🇱 #EnhancedDefenseAgreement #EDCA signed by President Trump and President Duda, Poland is not only improving training areas, but as well, infrastructure at multiple bases to host and support deployed 🇺🇸forces. When it comes to long term “Forward -deployed” 🇺🇸 forces in Europe, there’s no better Ally than Poland. 🇵🇱 is ready and willing to host and work with American forces to move to “the next level” together in #JointAllDomainOperations #JADO capabilities. JADO is 🇺🇸’s rapidly developing new war-fighting doctrine, which Poland has fully adopted and to which it seeks to train on closely with 🇺🇸. To understand JADO in practice, look no further than 🇺🇸‘s recent #Operation #AbsoluteResolve in Venezuela, and current Operation #EpicFury in Iran. A key lesson drawn already in EpicFury is just how crucial it is to have such a high-end-Ally in Israel, and its #IDF for America to operate alongside. When it comes to Allied-operations in Europe, 🇺🇸 has with Poland its future IDF-like force. America does not have to do it all. But, limited permanent force commitments remain vital to USA global deterrence, power projection and stability. This is part and parcel to 🇺🇸’s strategy of #PeaceThroughStrength. Besides developing Poland as a future IDF-capable force, permanent assignment of the right mix of 🇺🇸 forces to Poland, will encourage other Allies to do more to bolster NATO #ForwardDefense. At the end of the day, there is no better Ally for 🇺🇸 forces to train and defend with, and no better location to prepare for “future war,” than in Poland. As Poles say for centuries, “We Fight #ForYourFreedomAndOurs#FYFAO

Outstanding Poland🇵🇱 - Romania🇷🇴 training cooperation in Exercise #DYNAMICFRONT26. It’s all about increasing #WarFighting #READINESS! @Poland_MOD @MAERomania @SztabGenWP @DowOperSZ #FireSupport capabilities including: long-range, medium and short-range artillery/mortars, and precision rocket systems remain crucial on the modern battlefield - Russia’s continuing brutal war on Ukraine demonstrates this fact. It’s a good time to highlight the important deepening of 🇵🇱🇷🇴 ties. Romania and Poland are acutely aware of how the security/defense situation in Europe has deteriorated. They are responding to revisionist-Russia with massive defense modernizatation and training/exersize programs. That is, both Allies are serious about their commitment to NATO’s Article-3 “self-defense” clause. These two strong American/NATO-Allies play vital roles as “bastions” on #NATO’s #EasternFront. Poland spends 5% of its GDP on defense - that’s more %GDP than any Ally (including 🇺🇸). For its part, Romania has reached 2.5% GDP and is committed to reach 5%. 🇵🇱🇷🇴 have been working closely together for decades, but they have significantly strengthened defense-cooperation since Russia initiated its brutal war against Ukraine in 2014. For a decade now, Poland continuously deploys a mechanized infantry company to 🇷🇴, while Romania deploys air defense support to 🇵🇱. Poland and Romania co-established and chair, the #Bucharest9 #B9, an important group contributing a “regional perspective and voice” to #NATO. Poland inspired the #ThreeSeasInitiative #3SI, another important regional group, to which Romania is a key partner. The 3SI aims to rapidly address gaps in regional transport, energy and digital infrastructure up and down NATO’s EasternFront among Allies/partners in the #BalticSea, #BlackSea and #AdriaticSea regions. With Greece🇬🇷’s membership, the eastern #MediterraneanSea is now included in 3SI. The 3SI is an important regional economic effort; but that’s not all. Poland, Romania and Baltic State 3SI members ensure that projects consider how to strengthen regional security. This is seen especially in transport projects which support #MilitaryMobility. This means, the 3SI plans transport projects considering that western-Allies must be able to rapidly reinforce eastern-Allies. Additionally, Poland and Romania, strongly advocated for Greece’s 3SI membership, and also drove inclusion of Ukraine🇺🇦 and Moldova🇲🇩 as 3SI Associate Members. Poland and Romania are among 🇺🇦’s strongest supporters. Poland is number one in Europe supporting Ukrainian refugees, and led the Alliance in rapid military support to Ukraine (especially after Russia’s Feb 22 full scale invasion). Romania has also provided significant refugee support to Ukraine. Poland is NATO’s strategic hub for supplying Ukraine, while Romania also plays an important role, establishing an additional Allied supply hub in the BlackSea region for Ukraine. Back to EX-DYNAMICFRONT26 Both 🇵🇱🇷🇴 operate @USArmy state-of-the-art #HIMARS long-range precision rocket-artillery. In the #USArmy-led Exercise DYNAMICFRONT, Romania/Poland have the opportunity to integrate Allied Fire Support, and adapt to, and develop capabilities in line with the 🇺🇸Army’s new doctrine: #MultiDomainOperations #MDO (which both nations have fully embraced). In doing so, Poland and Romania are making vital contributions to Allied-deterrence, and to Allied WAR-FIGHTING READINESS, strengthening the #EasternFlankDeterrenceLine #EFDL against Russia.
🇵🇱🇷🇴 DYNAMIC FRONT – 26 🔥🚀 Żołnierze 1 Brygady Rakiet realizują zadania w ramach międzynarodowego ćwiczenia DYNAMIC FRONT – 26 w Rumunii. Działania prowadzone są we współdziałaniu z 8 Brygadą Rakiet Operacyjnych – 8FAB, podporządkowaną Międzynarodowemu Korpusowi Południowy-Wschód (MNC-SE), w ramach połączonego wsparcia ogniowego. Wysoka dynamika ćwiczenia oraz nieszablonowe działania strony pozorowanego przeciwnika wymagają natychmiastowej reakcji, precyzji i pełnej synchronizacji. Kluczową rolę odgrywa mobilność systemów HOMAR-A: szybkie zajmowanie stanowisk, skuteczne rażenie celów, unikanie wykrycia przez sensory przeciwnika. DYNAMIC FRONT – 26 to sprawdzian zdolności do szybkiego przerzutu sił, gotowości do obrony oraz prowadzenia złożonych, połączonych operacji wsparcia ogniowego w środowisku wielodomenowym. 👉 Gotowość. Precyzja. Sojusznicze działanie. 💪🇵🇱 📷 1BR @MON_GOV_PL @SztabGenWP

Awesome 🇺🇸#Redlegs! A key lesson in Russia’s brutal war on Ukraine, is that artillery remains fundamental on the modern battlefield. Moscow has proven the maxim that, “Russia is an artillery Army, with tanks.” This is especially obvious observing Russia’s abject failure in mounting any sort of serious armored maneuver operation against Ukraine’s Army. Instead, Ukraine has destroyed tens of thousands of Russian tanks and armored vehicles. On the Allied front there’s great news for the @USArmy and #NATO regarding Poland’s “Redlegs.” For the last 10 years Poland is rapidly modernizing its armed forces including an emphasis on artillery. Ten important developments regarding Poland’s artillery forces: (1) Since 2017, America has continuously deployed artillery units to Poland in support of #OperationAtlanticResolve #OAR, significantly increasing 🇺🇸🇵🇱 artillery capabilities and interoperability; (2) Poland now indigenously produces the #KRAB, a NATO-interoperable 155mm Self-propelled (SP) howitzer and is acquiring hundreds of KRABs; (3) Poland is a leader on weapons transfers to Ukraine, including dozens of KRABs and, 🇵🇱120mm RAK SP mortars; (4) Poland is acquiring hundreds of SouthKorean K9 155 SP artillery; (5) Poland is acquiring 🇺🇸 long-range rocket artillery - #HIMARS; (6) Poland established a rocket artillery brigade and a HIMARS Academy; (7) Poland now indigenously produces the #RAK, 120mm SP mortar; (8) Poland is a leader in #DynamicFront, NATO’s annual artillery exercise; (9) Recognizing the importance of Poland’s Army and 🇵🇱artillery capabilities, 🇺🇸sponsored Poland into the multinational #ArtillerySystemsCooperationActivities #ASCA program. This is a significant operational achievement increasing Poland’s, indirect-fires lethality in combat. (10) Poland is a leader in 155mm artillery shell production committing, ~ $700,000,000 to raise production capacity. The 155 shell is the mainstay for NATO, and Poland’s production is crucial for Polish needs, and to support Ukraine and NATO. #FYFAO
