Cameron: NATO new unit to be seated in Poland

NATO’s new rapid response force should be headquartered in Poland, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said during the second day of the alliance’s summit in Newport, Wales. He added that his country would commit 3,500 personnel to the unit. He said he hoped that NATO leaders would agree on the formation of the unit still on Friday. The forces would be capable of being placed anywhere in the world within two to five days. The headquarters would be in Poland and four other bases would be located in other countries on the alliance’s eastern frontier. Cameron stressed that Europe now need’s NATO’s protection more than it did in the past. “As Russia tramples illegally over Ukraine we must reassure our eastern European members we will always uphold our Article 5 commitments to collective self-defense,” the British PM said.
