NAVAL SUPPORT FACILITY REDZIKOWO, Poland (June 25, 2019) – U.S. Navy Capt. Jon Grant(right), commander of Naval Support Facility Redzikowo in Poland, and Capt. Jack Knick(left), commander of Naval Support Facility Deveselu in Romania, met with Polish partners and toured the perimeter of the new support site for Aegis Ashore Ballistic Missile Defense System(AABMDS) in Poland June 25, 2019. Located in the northwestern part of Poland, the base is being built just outside the town of Redzikowo and is a result of a 2009 initiative called the European Phased Adaptive Approach(EPAA). The EPAA calls for using Ballistic Missile Defense capabilities to defend Europe against threats originating from outside the Euro-Atlantic area. The new base will expand a defensive capability that protects NATO European territories, populations and forces and is expected to be fully operations capable sometime in 2020.
