Yup, for example the 2020 US - Poland agreement includes:
- (Art3.4) Access to any private and public land and facilities on request
- (Art9.1) Waves authority/right to need to countersign movement order under Article III, Paragraph 2(b) of NATO SOFA
- (Art13.1) Free movement within, and in and out of, Poland of any aircraft, vessels or vehicles. These can not be inspected without US consent when in Poland or entering/leaving Poland.
- (Art14.1) Poland waves it's criminal jurisdiction over U.S. forces in Poland.
And a whole bunch more:
