More than 100 military objects of different purposes will be built by the USA on the territory of Poland during the next 10 years, American Ambassador to Poland Marek Brzezinski said on Thursday.

His remarks came while speaking at a ceremony to begin construction of U.S. ammunition depots in Powidz (Wielkopolskie Voivodeship) in central Poland.

“More than 110 construction projects are planned over the next ten years,” the ambassador added. According to him, all this is necessary in order “to seriously increase military readiness.” As Brzezinski emphasized, “these will be, for example, educational facilities, but also canteens, barracks and other facilities.”

The construction of the warehouses in Powidza is underway in Poland as part of an expanded allied presence in the country. The project consists of two areas - the creation of ammunition depots and a complex of warehouses for weapons and equipment storage. These activities are part of the implementation of the Readiness Action Plan (RAP) approved at the 2014 NATO Summit in Wales.

As a result, 56 depots and administrative facilities will appear in Poland. Five warehouses will be placed at the disposal of the Polish side, and 51 will be placed at the disposal of the U.S. side. Expansion of the infrastructure is foreseen.
