This is 1 of the most crucial investments in the east flank of NATO. The DABS was created in Powidzum – a immense warehouse of equipment that will let the creation of field airports, in just a fewer to respective hours. The investment was implemented under the Polish-American enhanced defence cooperation agreement (EDCA).
– DABS is more than concrete and steel, more than critical infrastructure. This is simply a manifestation of a strategical partnership between the US and Poland. We have created an operational platform that will be the foundation of safety for the east flank," stressed Brig-Gen. Chad Ellsworth, manager of Logistics, Engineering and Force Protection in the US Air Force.
DABS, or the Deployable Air Base System, was created on the ground 33 Transport Air Bases in the View. The extended complex consists of 10 buildings, which form the basis for nearly 500 different types of vehicles, specialized aircraft handling equipment or mobile fuel systems. All of this allows in a fewer to respective hours to make even 4 half airports, ready to accept NATO aircraft. This solution will make it easier, for example, to spread troops to the east flank, even if the opponent can harm permanent military bases.
The construction of the complex took 650 million PLN. It was created by Polish-American agreement on enhanced defence cooperation (EDCA), which was concluded in 2020. The Polish-Provided Infrastructure programme assumes that Poland as a country-host will prepare 115 different types of facilities for Americans. “PPI is most likely the largest military infrastructure transportation program in the past of our armed forces,” said Maj. Gen. Dariusz Mendral, Head of the Armed Forces Support Inspectorate. However, as he added, this is just 1 aspect of the tremendous effort that the state is making for security. In total, Poland spends up to 5% of GDP on the army.
The recently opened DABS is the second largest U.S. Air Force magazine in Europe. Mixed Polish-American personnel are presently liable for its operation. In the future, however, Poles are to take full work for this task.
Meanwhile, the view itself turns step by step into 1 of the most crucial logistical facilities of the east flank of NATO. Last year in this Wielkopolska town was launched APS-2, a hardware warehouse for the US Army. In the complex, the Americans store about 3,000 different types of vehicles – from Abrams tanks, through Paladin Haubice, to Bradley's combat infantry wagons. The equipment is maintained and maintained. This solution allows to improve the spread of troops to the east flank if necessary. Soldiers, erstwhile leaving their home units, do not gotta take their equipment with them. After moving to Poland, they collect vehicles in APS. The United States Army has 7 akin complexes worldwide. They function, among others, in Italy, South Korea or the mediate East.
