Celebrating Polish Armed Forces Day With Our Ally

Poland - 3rd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) joined Polish service members and members of the local community in Krakow to commemorate Polish Armed Forces Day, Aug. 13, 2026, honoring generations of Polish service members while recognizing the enduring partnership between the United States and Poland.

Polish Armed Forces Day is observed annually on Aug. 15 and is closely associated with Poland’s victory during the Battle of Warsaw in 1920. The observance remains an important symbol of Polish national pride, military service and the sacrifices made by those who have defended the country throughout its history.

Members of 10th SFG (A) stood alongside their Polish counterparts during the commemoration, reflecting the close relationship shared by U.S. and Polish forces. Their participation highlighted a mutual commitment to collective defense, regional security and continued military cooperation.

For U.S. service members currently operating in Poland, the event provided more than an opportunity to take part in a national military observance. It also allowed them to recognize the history and traditions of an ally with whom they continue to train, serve and build relationships.

The U.S.-Polish military partnership remains an important element of security cooperation in Europe. Working alongside one another allows forces from both nations to strengthen interoperability, develop professional relationships and reinforce the trust required to operate together effectively.

More than a ceremonial gathering, the event reflected the enduring relationship between two allied nations and the shared commitment of their service members to security, cooperation and mutual defense.
