The US shipped hundreds of armored vehicles to the Dutch ports of Vlissingen and Eemshaven by sea on October 30, according to a report by the website of Army Technology in early November. These vehicles and related parts were then put in over 2,000 containers and transported to countries including Poland via a newly established military transport corridor that spans across Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland. This is the first large-scale use of the military transport corridor.

據(jù)“陸軍技術(shù)”網(wǎng)站11月上旬報道，10月30日，美國通過海運(yùn)將數(shù)百輛裝甲車運(yùn)抵荷蘭弗利辛恩和埃姆斯哈文兩個港口。隨后，這些裝甲車及配件被分裝在2000余個集裝箱中，通過德國、荷蘭和波蘭新設(shè)立的軍事走廊運(yùn)往波蘭等國。這是該軍事走廊首次大規(guī)模投入使用。

In late January this year, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland signed a statement of intent to establish a corridor that would facilitate military transportation, allowing for rapid reinforcement and resupply of NATO's eastern flank. Specifically, the three countries aim to address infrastructure issues, such as roads and bridges, simplify cross-border transport of military equipment and other hazardous materials, and secure solutions that prioritize military rail transport over civilian traffic. NATO officials pointed out that establishing a military transport corridor that stretches across Western Europe and Central Europe between NATO member states is a very important logistical plan.

今年1月底，德國、荷蘭和波蘭簽署意向聲明，決定設(shè)立方便軍事人員和物資調(diào)動的軍事走廊，使北約東翼部隊能夠快速得到增援和補(bǔ)給。具體而言，3國試圖解決道路橋梁等基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施問題，簡化跨境運(yùn)輸軍火和其他危險品的流程，尋求軍用鐵路運(yùn)輸優(yōu)先于常規(guī)民用交通的方案。北約相關(guān)人士指出，在北約成員國之間建立一條橫跨西歐和中歐的軍事運(yùn)輸走廊，是一個頗為重要的后勤愿景。

The Netherlands is the actual gateway connecting Europe with the rest of the world given its superior geographical location and well-developed port network. The above-mentioned Dutch ports are important nodes of this military transport corridor and can coordinate supply lines to the eastern flank for NATO's partners. It is reported that the Netherlands has made the promise to assist the US military in carrying out this military mobility mission. It is worth noting that this is the first time that foreign military supplies have arrived at the Port of Eemshaven in the Netherlands on a large scale.

荷蘭擁有優(yōu)越的地理位置和發(fā)達(dá)的港口網(wǎng)絡(luò)，是連接歐洲與全球其他地區(qū)的“歐洲門戶”。荷蘭上述港口是這一軍事走廊的重要節(jié)點(diǎn)，可為北約合作伙伴協(xié)調(diào)通往東翼的供應(yīng)線。據(jù)報道，此前荷蘭已承諾協(xié)助美軍執(zhí)行這一軍事機(jī)動任務(wù)。值得注意的是，這是外國軍事物資首次大規(guī)模運(yùn)抵荷蘭埃姆斯哈文港。

According to a press release by the Netherlands, this shipment of armored vehicles will take approximately three weeks from October 30 to November 20. Some of these vehicles will be transported from Eemshaven to Germany escorted by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. Further details about the mission and how Polish forces will use these vehicles have not been disclosed by foreign media.

根據(jù)荷蘭發(fā)布的新聞稿，這批裝甲車運(yùn)輸將從10月30日持續(xù)至11月20日，共需約3周時間。部分裝甲車將在荷蘭皇家憲兵護(hù)送下，從埃姆斯哈文港運(yùn)往德國。關(guān)于這項軍事機(jī)動任務(wù)的詳細(xì)信息及波蘭部隊如何使用這些裝甲車，外媒?jīng)]有披露更多信息。

Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, NATO has continuously increased its military deployment in Eastern Europe and has repeatedly conducted exercises on how to rapidly deliver reinforcements to the eastern flank of the alliance when threats occur.

俄烏沖突爆發(fā)以來，北約不斷增加在東歐地區(qū)的軍事部署，并多次演練增援部隊如何在威脅發(fā)生時快速抵達(dá)聯(lián)盟東翼。

It is reported that the deployment of hundreds of armored vehicles to Poland underscores Poland's importance in NATO's defense strategy for its eastern flank. In recent years, Poland has become a major hub for NATO's weapons supply to Ukraine, with its geopolitical security value and military significance steadily rising. The US-led NATO has promoted relevant military deployments on the excuse of geopolitical crisis and has continuously strengthened its military presence in Poland, aiming to control and utilize Poland through military and security means and further control European security.

報道稱，數(shù)百輛裝甲車部署至波蘭，體現(xiàn)了波蘭在北約東翼布局中的重要性。近幾年，波蘭成為北約向烏克蘭輸送武器的主要樞紐，地緣安全和軍事價值逐步上升。以美國為首的北約以地緣政治危機(jī)為由推動相關(guān)軍事部署，不斷加強(qiáng)在波蘭的軍事存在，意圖通過軍事和安全手段控制和利用波蘭，從而進(jìn)一步掌控歐洲安全。

This military action also reflects that Poland is rapidly improving its military strength and making medium- and long-term preparations for the US' strategic pivot toward the Asia-Pacific region. To this end, Poland is seeking permission from the US to manufacture more equipment locally and strengthen NATO's military infrastructure, in a bid to cope with possible future conflicts.

這項軍事行動也體現(xiàn)了波蘭正快速提升自身軍事實(shí)力，為美國將戰(zhàn)略重心轉(zhuǎn)移至亞太地區(qū)做中長期準(zhǔn)備。為此，波蘭正在爭取美國許可，以便在本土制造更多裝備，加強(qiáng)北約軍事基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)，應(yīng)對未來可能的沖突。
