In a surprising turn of events, Poland has ousted the Polish commander of the European rapid reaction military unit, the Eurocorps, amid an unfolding military counterintelligence investigation involving him, authorities disclosed on Wednesday.

According to a statement from the Polish Defense Ministry, new information regarding Lt. Gen. Jarosław R. Gromadziński prompted the initiation of an investigation into his security clearance.

Gromadziński was promptly recalled from his post at the Eurocorps’ headquarters in Strasbourg, France, following the launch of the investigation. The ministry further announced that a replacement for Gromadziński would be appointed without delay.

Details surrounding the nature of the investigation remain scant, and Gromadziński has not been available for comment on the matter.

Established in 1992 by Germany and France, the Eurocorps was formed to provide support for various European Union and NATO missions. Alongside Poland, the unit’s six framework nations include Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, and Austria, while Greece, Italy, Romania, and Turkey serve as associate nations.

Over the years, the Eurocorps have been involved in a range of missions, from stabilization efforts in the Balkans and Afghanistan to training initiatives in Africa.

As the investigation unfolds, Poland’s decision to remove Gromadziński has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding his departure and the potential implications for the Eurocorps’ operations.
