According to Jan Pejsek, a Czech Defense Ministry spokesman, the U.S. experts concluded that all three locations—Libava in North Moravia, Brdy in Central Bohemia, and Boletice in South Bohemia—would be suitable for the deployment of U.S. missile defense assets. The team spent one week examining the three sites, making note of the existing infrastructure, transportation and communication options, and geological and water conditions.
