A class of Sixth-grade students from J. Kusociński Primary School No. 71 in Poznań, Poland, all raise their hands after a Soldier visiting from the 53rd Movement Control Battalion April 5, 2018, asks if any of them would like to visit the United States someday. Nine Soldiers from the 53rd MCB and the 1st Infantry Division Mission Command Element, all on mission in Poznań, visited the school as part of a new outreach program started by Maj. Christian Goza, 1st Inf. Div. MCE chaplain, to strengthen bonds with the community and put a name to some of the faces of U.S. Soldiers in the city. The MCE, led by the 1st Inf. Div. since March, is originally from Fort Riley, Kansas, but currently is headquartered in Poznań where it serves as the division-level headquarters between U.S. Army Europe in Wiesbaden, Germany, and two regionally aligned forces brigades spread throughout Central and Eastern Europe in support of the Atlantic Resolve mission. The 53rd MCB, also headquartered in Poznań, but originally from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, coordinates and executes logistics missions in support of other units deployed in support of Atlantic Resolve.
