A US armored forces base is slated to be built in the center of Poland, the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita reports.

According to the media outlet, the base is planned to be stationed in Mazovia Province, in the city of Ciechanow.

The newspaper acquired a letter written by the country’s Deputy Defense Minister, Beata Oczkowicz, to City Mayor Krzysztof Kosinski. The document explains that the base will be used for the needs of the Polish and US Armed Forces.

On July 15, a deal between Poland and the US on the agreed facilities and zones came into force, according to the letter. The document was aimed at bolstering military cooperation between the two countries, including the joint use of property.

In June, the US confirmed it planned to deploy heavy weapons in several Eastern European countries.
