Boots on the ground

No Polish Jokes Please.

History made on last Friday.

First US military unit to be continuously stationed in Poland activated - News - Stripes
LASK AIR BASE, Poland — As a frigid wind whipped the U.S. and Polish flags above the flight line at this sprawling base, two allies marked the activation Friday of the first U.S. military unit to be continuously stationed on Polish soil.
Though numbering only 10 airmen, Detachment 1, 52nd Operations Group has a historic role to fill.
It signifies the United States’ commitment to furthering its partnership with Poland, a former Warsaw Pact member, and promoting regional security in Europe, said senior military and government leaders from both countries who spoke at a ceremony to stand up the detachment.
“It marks the arrival of a new kind of U.S. ‘boots on the ground,’ ” said Derek Chollet, the U.S. assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs.
