First permanent US base in Poland a game changer for NATO, says analyst The recently opened Redzikowo base in northern Poland, under construction since 2016, is the first permanent U.S. military facility in the country and a key element in NATO’s deterrence posture, said Wojciech Przybylski, the editor-in-chief of Visegrad Insight.

The base in Redzikowo and a sister site in Romania form part of a network providing cover against short and mid-range missile threats.

The construction of the base “has been carried over by several [U.S.] presidents,” said Przybylski.

“That speaks a lot in terms of the bipartisan position of the U.S. government on Poland and the importance of Central Eastern Europe altogether.”

Przybylski also highlighted the Redzikowo base’s significance for NATO’s eastern flank, describing it as “not just a Polish base but an element of deterrence” against evolving threats.

“Moscow has already signaled its disappointment with the base,” said Przybylski.

“It goes against the plan of Moscow to undo NATO expansion, to undo membership of the Baltic states, Poland and Visegrad Group countries.”

The Visegrad Group is a political forum comprised of Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
