The Polish Authorities’ Efforts to Locate the United States Armed Forces Permanent Military Base on the Territory of the Republic of Poland

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the attempts of the Polish authorities to locate a permanent military base of the US Armed Forces in the territory of the Republic of Poland. The introduction outlines the main areas of political and military cooperation between Poland and the US. The next parts of the text present the location of US military installations in Poland, negotiations regarding the site of a permanent American military base in its territory and the conditions under which that would be supposed to happen. The primary purpose of the article is to analyse and evaluate the legitimacy and effectiveness of the Polish authorities’ efforts to locate a permanent US military base in Poland. The main research problem is the question of whether the actions taken by the Polish authorities regarding the location of a permanent American military base in its territory are justified and effective? The basic thesis is that the concept of ‘Fort Trump’ presented by Poland is extremely ambitious and impossible to implement in the current situation. However, the United States is ready to gradually increase its military involvement in Poland, which may, in the future, bring them closer to the expectations of the Polish party. However, this will depend primarily on the direction of the evolution of European security, as well as the internal situation in the United States. The article uses the method of analysing text sources and elements of the decision method.
