REDZIKOWO, Poland – Capt. Tim Battles relieved Capt. Jeremy Ewing as commanding officer of Naval Support Facility (NSF) Redzikowo during a change of command ceremony, Dec. 22.
Distinguished guests, including members of the U.S. Embassy, Polish Armed Forces, local government and surrounding communities attended the ceremony, underscoring the strong cooperation between the United States and Poland in bolstering regional security.
Under Capt. Ewing’s leadership, NSF Redzikowo passed thirty-seven inspections and assessments, conducted over one hundred key leader engagements with Polish partners and allies, and significantly improved the quality of life for personnel through facility improvements, enhanced services, and expanded support programs.
“Over the past year, I have been humbled by the extraordinary service, sacrifice, and professionalism of the men and women—military and civilian—who comprise this command,” said Ewing. “We stand on the forward edge of ballistic missile defense in Europe. What we do here matters strategically. Every watch stood, every system maintained, every patrol conducted, and every logistic task completed contributes directly to the defense of our NATO allies and the stability of this region.”
In his first address as Commanding Officer, Battles thanked Ewing for his leadership and highlighted his commitment to the NSF Redzikowo team. “I look forward to working alongside each of you as we continue adding to the impressive list of accomplishments you achieved during Captain Ewing’s tenure,” he said.
