At the event were the U.S. Ambassador to Poland, the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, the U.S. European Command Deputy Commander, and other distinguished visitors and military leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Also in attendance was the officer in charge of the site\u2019s primary workforce, Polish Army Lt. Col. Przemel Musiej. Officially dubbed a Long Term Equipment Storage and Maintenance-Complex, about 30 Polish Army noncommissioned officers are now working at the APS-2 worksite. They are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the LTESM-C\u2019s buildings and infrastructure, and Musiej is their boss.<\/p>\n<p>Musiej, who entered the Polish Army in 2000 after completing four years of military academy training in logistics, oversees the Polish military workforce at the new APS-2 site. And when the LTESM-C goes fully operational later this year, Musiej will be responsible for the facilities and the APS-2 workforce \u2013 the personnel who maintain the buildings and infrastructure as well as the personnel who maintain and repair the APS-2 vehicles and equipment pieces stored there.<\/p>\n<p>Expected to be well over a couple hundred Polish military personnel, Army and Air Force, when the LTESM-C fully activates, Musiej said he looks forward to the mission he\u2019s tasked to oversee \u2013 the upkeep and maintenance of an entire U.S. Army armored brigade combat team\u2019s worth of APS-2 combat vehicles and equipment pieces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the most important missions for the Polish military right now,\u201d Musiej said. \u201cThis is the first site of its kind in Poland, and for us this complex demonstrates the strong partnership we have with the U.S. and NATO.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor me, this is an incredible opportunity,\u201d said the 46-year-old career Polish Army officer from Gniezno, Poland. \u201cI\u2019ll be responsible for all the Polish military maintainers and mechanics here, and I\u2019ll be responsible for building and fostering a strong partnership with our American allies.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Once activated, the 405th Army Field Support Brigade\u2019s Army Field Support Battalion-Poland will assume mission command of APS-2 operations at the LTESM-C. Musiej\u2019s workforce will work shoulder-to-shoulder with AFSBn-Poland, performing the vast majority of maintenance and mechanical repairs on APS-2 vehicles and equipment pieces.<\/p>\n<p>This APS-2 site is \u201cvery important to Poland,\u201d Musiej said. \u201cIt\u2019s all very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"editor-image single\">\n<figure class=\"photo cur-photo\">\n          <span class=\"centered-image\"><br \/>\n            <span class=\"img-container\"><br \/>\n              <a class=\"rich-text-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/api.army.mil\/e2\/c\/images\/2023\/04\/13\/342153b0\/original.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Polish Army officer responsible for primary workforce at new APS-2 site in Powidz\" src=\"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/size0-full-112.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n              <\/a><br \/>\n                          <\/span><br \/>\n          <\/span><figcaption>\n                        <span class=\"image-caption\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"caption-text\"><br \/>\n                The 405th Army Field Support Brigade\u2019s Support Operations Forward officer, Lt.
