US invests in modernizing Mihail Kogalniceanu military base in Romania

The US Army wants to carry out massive investments in modernizing the military base at Mihail Kogalniceanu, in Eastern Romania, where US forces have been present for over 25 years, according to an ad published on the Federal Business Opportunities website, cited by local Hotnews.ro. The plans include the construction of a new railway and multimodal terminal, a new control center, several buildings and storage facilities, fuel storage facilities, and a new platform for cargo airplanes. The contract is worth several tens of millions of dollars, ranging between USD 25-100 million. It should be awarded until the end of September this year. The work will take three years. Several hundred US troops with tanks and modern military equipment are currently stationed at the Mihail Kogalniceanu military base near the Black Sea port of Constanta. The US Army has also used this base to support its military operations in Iraq. editor@romania-insider.com
