Former Słupsk-Redzikowo airbase deactivated in the 1990's
However reactivated again to host US/ NATO forces operating the SM-3 ballistic missile interceptors against possible missile attacks from the middle east region.

Due to reassessment of the threat from Iran, Washington announced a flexible system, with a combination of land- and sea-based interceptors based on the US Navy Aegis Standard Missile interceptor, SM-3. Under this plan, the US operates ship-based SM-3s in the North and Mediterranean seas and land-based SM-3s in Poland, Romania and Turkey as of 2018
