Soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 864th Engineer Combat Battalion (Heavy); 1st Construction Company, 100th Republic of Korea Engineering Group; and Polish 1st Engineer Brigade are working together to construct metal building systems, known as K-Spans; roads; ditches; culverts and sewage lagoons.

Polish engineers provide additional capacity and leadership to multiple construction projects. Polish soldiers led by Polish army 1st Lt. Radoslaw Telezynski are working to improve roads by ensuring that proper drainage and sewage structures are constructed before the rainy season begins. The Polish army has been deployed in places such as Lebanon, Syria, and Africa to support many humanitarian missions since the war on terror began.
“I didn’t know what to expect or what missions we would have, but working with American soldiers has been a great experience. They have been very helpful,” Telezynski said. “I have been able to learn different training techniques from the American soldiers and compare them to our techniques. I changed our technique to what works best to accomplish the mission successfully.”
Polish Pfc. Rafaz Sobon agreed. “This is my first time deployed,” he said, “and it has been a new and interesting experience. We learned about different cultures in class, but it is better to learn from first-hand experience.”
