\u201cMany of Battalion Poland\u2019s members reside within the town of Wrze\u015bnia, which is only 20 or 25 minutes away from our worksite. Having the opportunity to attend and participate in this event was a wonderful way to meet and build relationships with our neighbors,\u201d said Derek Adcock, AFSBn-Poland operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event was great. It wasn\u2019t just about the riflemen\u2019s association. It highlighted a lot of local community capabilities, and not just military. The local police, fire department and bomb squad were all there,\u201d Adcock said. \u201cTo be the first U.S. unit to attend and participate in this event was great. There will be more events in the future, and we are looking forward to attending.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the event, the 300th MP Company had on display a Humvee, a mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle, and a couple of crew-served weapons, including the .50 caliber machine gun and Mk 19 40mm grenade launcher, Adcock said.<\/p>\n

AFSBn-Poland is charged with mission command of the Powidz APS-2 worksite, which is comprised of 650,000 square feet of humidity-controlled warehouse space and a vehicle maintenance facility as well as supporting facilities. The Powidz worksite houses and maintains a modernized Armored Brigade Combat Team\u2019s worth of APS-2 equipment to include several dozen M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks and nearly 200 other armored combat vehicles, plus more.<\/p>\n

The 405th AFSB is assigned to U.S. Army Sustainment Command and headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The brigade provides materiel enterprise support to U.S. forces throughout Europe and Africa \u2013 providing theater sustainment logistics; synchronizing acquisition, logistics and technology; and leveraging U.S. Army Materiel Command\u2019s materiel enterprise to support joint forces.
