NAVAL SUPPORT FACILITY REDZIKOWO, Poland – Naval Support Facility Redzikowo(NSFR) Commander, U.S. Navy Capt. Jon Grant, hosted retired Polish Air Force Col. Franciszek Klimczuk to tour the construction sites on base July 8, 2019. In the late 80's and early 90's, Klimczuk commanded the air base where the NSFR sits now and was impressed with the revitalization of the area. The site is nearing completion and will support the Aegis Ashore Ballistic Missile Defense System(AABMDS) mission in the coming years. Located in the northwestern part of Poland, the base is a result of the 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 fully operations capable sometime in late 2020.
