In addition, other aircraft of the US Army will arrive in Poland during the coming weeks. Powidz, Poland's largest military airfield - is expected to accept AH-64 Apache assault helicopters and CH-47 Chinook heavy transport helicopters.

A group of 80 helicopters and about a thousand servicemen will be stationed at the Polish airfield in Powidz to support the tank brigade that arrived in the country on 14 January.
