**Jack Raubo, Head of Defence24.pl Analysis Department: Colonel, thank you very much for the chance  to talk to you in Krakow. So let me start by asking why it is so important, from the point of view of the deterrence and defence strategy   in the east  flank of NATO, to analyse territorial defence in the countries of the region? How does U.S. Army view the applicable  function  of the Territorial Defence Force on the east  flank of NATO?**
