U.S. Ground Troops Going To Poland, Defense Minister Says
[[WashingtonPost] Poland and the United States will announce next week the deployment of U.S. ground forces to Poland as part of an expansion of NATO...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... presence in Central and Eastern Europe in response to events in Ukraine. That was the word from Poland's defense minister, Tomasz Siemoniak, who visited The Post Friday after meeting with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel at the Pentagon on Thursday. Siemoniak said the decision has been made on a political level and that military planners are working out details. There will also be intensified cooperation in air defense, special forces, cyberdefense and other areas. Poland will play a leading regional role, "under U.S. patronage," he said.
