**Conrad Wysocki: Gazeta Polska:‘Do not waste your potential’**
"In terms of supporting local communities and interacting with another types of armies, the Territorial Defence Army is increasing to be key in the structure of the Armed Forces. summertime months confirmed the appropriateness of developing and further strengthening this formation. However, the government lacks precise information about the future of WOT. No another kind of Polish army has been subjected to specified criticism and harassment as the Territorial Defence Army, operating since 1 January 2017. The spilling of soap by the opposition at the time began as the WOT was formed. They were convinced of the “paper army of Antoni Macierewicz” (the then head of the MON), children dressed in uniforms and “playing in the army” for public money. Critics of part of the political environment and alleged military experts did not even diminish the fact that the fresh kind of army had enjoyed large popularity among young people from the beginning. Subsequent years brought challenges, not only for territorialists, but besides for the full Polish army and for us as a society. The COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the countering of the hybrid war on the border with Belarus, and in the meantime the elimination of the effects of weather disasters and another insignificant operations supporting the local community. The Territorial Defence Army confirmed that their motto: "Always ready, always close" is not only an empty slogan from the velcro patch to the uniform, but a commitment that they followed up with each time. presently more than 40,000 soldiers are already serving in olive berets.”
