    SŁUPSK, Poland (Dec. 17, 2019) – U.S. Navy Cmdr. Joshua Lewis relinquished command of U.S. Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System (AAMDS) Poland to Cmdr. Derek Johnson in a ceremony in Słupsk, Poland, Tues., Dec. 17, 2019. Personnel assigned to Naval Support Facility (NSF) Redzikowo and AAMDS participated in the ceremony held at the civilian Police Academy in the nearby town of Słupsk. NSF Redzikowo is the first U.S. installation in Poland and is the Navy’s newest installation that will be home to AAMDS Poland. Once construction is completed, Aegis Ashore Poland will expand a defensive capability that protects NATO European territories, populations and forces against ballistic missiles launched from outside the Euro-Atlantic region.
