Beginning in 2014, the US Army began sending units to train with the Polish Army on a rotational basis to hone their skills and increase their interoperability as a NATO partner. As the war in Ukraine wears on amidst the threat of a belligerent and expansionist threat from Russia, this training with Poland becomes even more important and valuable to security and deterrence in Eastern Europe.
