About us

Formerly known as Army Field Support Battalion-Mannheim, the battalion was re-designated to Army Field Support Battalion-Poland in 2024 when it moved operations from the Coleman Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 worksite in Mannheim, Germany, to the newest, most modern APS worksite in the world, located in Powidz, Poland. AFSBn-Poland is one of the four battalions under the 405th Army Field Support Brigade and is now headquartered in Powidz.

The battalion is charged with providing and coordinating receipt, transfer, storage, and maintenance of APS to enable commanders to conduct unified action and the full range of military operations in support of U.S. Army Europe and Africa.

The APS stored in Europe are designated APS-2. The Powidz APS-2 worksite in Poland is a NATO-funded project and the most significant single infrastructure endeavor by NATO in the past 30 years. When fully stocked with over 5,000 major end items – including hundreds of M1A2 tanks, M2 Bradley fighting vehicles, M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzers and more – the site will serve as one of six active APS-2 worksites in Europe under the mission command of the 405th AFSB. 

The Powidz APS-2 worksite encompasses 650,000 square feet of humidity-controlled warehouse space, a vehicle maintenance facility, and various supporting structures, plus 58,000 square feet of munitions storage.
