Since the end of World War II, the United States has worked closely with European allies and partners to achieve security and stability. These are some of the ongoing key exercises, operations, and programs within our Area of Responsibility (AOR), as well as important oversight activities, and featured events.
United States and Polish officials commemorated the start of the construction phase of an Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System (AAMDS) complex during a ceremony in Redzikowo, Poland May 13, 2016.
This event demonstrates another positive step in support the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) to Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), a defensive capability for U.S. and European NATO Allies which provides collective defense against established and emergent threats.
