The presence of the United States in Europe is perceived by the Central European countries as a guarantee for the security of the continent and support for the North Atlantic Alliance. From the Polish point of view, one of the key elements for increasing the financial security guarantee is the location of the Alliance infrastructure in Poland, e.g. military bases, ground reconnaissance systems, or joining such project as the missile defense system. In this aspect, the political and financial involvement of the USA is crucial.
