Warsaw has dismissed the Polish commander of the Eurocorps military unit, Lieutenant General Jaroslaw Gromadzinski, amid a counterintelligence investigation into his security clearance, the defense ministry announced. Gromadzinski had been serving as the commander of Eurocorps, a joint military group consisting of some EU and NATO states, since June 2023. However, he has now been ordered to return to Poland. Eurocorps, based in Strasbourg, France, is authorized to participate in United Nations and NATO evacuation missions, humanitarian missions, peacekeeping, and crisis management. In recent months, Gromadzinski had been part of the international assistance team for Ukraine in Wiesbaden, Germany, where he was involved in training Ukrainian soldiers.
"The Military Counter-Intelligence Service initiated inspection proceedings regarding the personal security clearance of Lieutenant General Jaroslaw Gromadzinski in connection with obtaining new information about the officer," read a ministry statement.

The statement also mentioned that another officer has already been assigned to "ensure continuity" in the post "with immediate effect." Read more:
