To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

- Copies of training materials provided to military members who are to be deployed or stationed at military bases in Poland, to include all training provided by the Language, Regional Expertise, and Culture (LREC) education and locally developed training materials, to include handouts, brochures, pamphlets, and PowerPoint presentations.
- Reporting instructions for military members who are to be deployed or stationed at military bases in Poland.

Please limit the search to current copies of all responsive documents as of 5 January 2024. I agree to pay fees of $25.00.

If any part of these documents are exempt from disclosure, please be sure to review and release all reasonably segregable nonexempt portions of responsive documents, as the FOIA requires.

I request that I be properly classified as a media requester. I am an investigative journalist who has written numerous articles on topics of public interest for The Intercept, the Asia Times, Responsible Statecraft, the National Interest, Reason Magazine, America Magazine and the Armenian Weekly, and I am requesting these documents in an editorial capacity. Please contact me if you have any questions about my media status.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Matthew Petti

Good afternoon,

My apologies for the delay - I was on maternity leave and it does not appear
that my office has responded to you yet.

LREC records or training records developed locally and provided to military
members who are to be deployed or stationed at military bases in Poland do not
fall under the cognizance of USEUCOM. Rather, this appears to fall under the
cognizance of the individual Garrisons or installations in Poland.
Additionally, reporting instructions would come through the service components
issuing the orders, not EUCOM.

Please let me know if I can provide further assistance.

V/R
