    Poznan, Poland – Area Support Group Poland held the First Executive Security Forum on July 26-27, 2021 at Poland’s 31st Tactical Air Base Krzesiny, in Poznan Poland. Leaders from the U.S. Embassy, U.S. European Command, U.S. Army Europe, and the U.S. Army Area Support Group Poland (ASG-P) met with their Polish counterparts to discuss mutually beneficial security agreements.

    The Polish leadership offered the use of the 31st Tactical Air Base to enable bi-lateral security discussions. The Forum included topics encompassing the U.S. and Polish enhanced defense cooperation agreement, and provided a synchronized effort to develop a memorandum of understanding (MOU) from the current Implementation arrangement between both countries; specific to security and counter intelligence. The force protection specific conversations helped create a better understanding of the security agreements already in place, and focused on proposed changes that could potentially yield mutually beneficial results.

    Attendees also participated in a counter small unmanned aircraft systems demonstration offered by the U.S. Air Force. The security forum content, broken down and presented over several days, fostered a deeper understanding of security cooperation within the established partnership between the U.S. and Poland.

    Colonel Jorge Fonseca, ASG-P commander, based in Poznan, Poland served as the events preeminent host. For the U.S. forces in attendance, the forum continued throughout the week, culminating at the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw, Poland where proposed changes were documented that could lead to a poignant security MOU between the nations.
