Gino Mattorano USAFE Public Affairs -"As we continue to foster relationships with our partner nations we gain interoperability and enhance our collective ability to contribute to the NATO mission and overseas contingency operations." -"The U.S. is extremely grateful for Poland's contributions to NATO and especially to ISAF operations.

WARSAW, Poland: Enlisted force development is a key part of USAFE's partnership building endeavors, and no one is more committed to pursuing those efforts than the command's top enlisted member. Chief Master Sgt. Pamela Derrow, USAFE command chief, visited Warsaw Jan 10-13 to meet with Polish Air Force leaders to exchange ideas and discuss partnership building opportunities. "I'm thrilled to see the progress Poland has made in developing its enlisted force," said Derrow. ""This was a great opportunity to exchange ideas with our fellow NATO airmen, and I'm continually impressed with the enthusiasm and professionalism we encounter in our NATO partners." .... "We look forward to Polish Air Force NCOs attending the Kisling NCOA in the Spring as we continue to learn from each other and build our partnership capacity," said Lawrence. March, 2010 will mark 11 years of NATO membership for Poland, and its military leaders continue to cultivate relationships with the United States and other NATO neighbors. .... Master Sgt. Cheree Lewis had the opportunity to interact with fellow airmen from the Polish Air Force, and thinks these partnership opportunities will provide long-term benefits for both nations. "Meeting and interacting with my Polish air force peers was a great experience for me personally and professionally," said Lewis. "As we continue to foster relationships with our partner nations we gain interoperability and enhance our collective ability to contribute to the NATO mission and overseas contingency operations." Poland's commitment to its NATO allies has resulted in enhanced interoperability and increased support for NATO and overseas contingency operations. "The U.S. is extremely grateful for Poland's contributions to NATO and especially to ISAF operations," continued Burke. "The fact that they have just added 600 troops to support ISAF operations shows their dedication to the global coalition." .... "Polish military leadership was very supportive of our efforts here. Working through our Office of Defense Cooperation, we have enabled Polish NCOs to attend our professional military education courses, and I know those airmen will take the professional development lessons back to their units and help take their enlisted corps to the next level. They are also interested in exchanging professional military education instructors, and would like for us to send mobile training teams to assist them in their development efforts. This collaboration and sharing of best practices is mutually beneficial for Polish and USAFE Airmen," said Derrow. Chief Derrow is confident that as we continue to work with our NATO allies to develop their enlisted force, it will enhance USAFE efforts to build partnership capacity in the region. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
