    5-7 ADA BN hands over Patriot mission in Poland to Germany

    Lieutenant Col. Daniel Corbett, commanding officer of 5-7 ADA, cases the colors during the transfer of authority ceremony in Poland.

    On February 3, 2025, the U.S. Army's 5th Battalion, 7th Air Defense Artillery Regiment officially transferred its Patriot missile defense mission in Poland to German forces, marking the first such handover in Europe. The battalion had been deployed near Rzeszow-Jasionka Airport since early 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This transition allows the U.S. unit to focus on modernization efforts and other priorities.
