From the position of the war in Ukraine, this saying takes on a peculiar tone. The final result of the armed conflict is to be determined not only by the professional army, but by the ability of the state to rapidly replenish individual losses and mobilization. What about the Polish Army reserve strategy today, and what should change? You will read about this in the April issue of “Polish Armed Forces”.
A fewer weeks ago, my 18-year-old boy received a call for military qualifications and obtained an "A" category, which means full military service capacity. due to the fact that he does not plan to associate his future with the army for the time being, due to the fact that in terms of his M.A. and his studies, he was transferred from the vending device to a passive reserve. But he and his peers do not know what reserve is and what obligations it entails. No 1 has explained to young people that unless the regulations change and the mandatory primary military service is suspended, the call will most likely be excluded after the announcement of mobilization or war. However, this regulation does not apply to all passive reserves. In this group, not only are they covered by the statutory work to appear as military qualifications, but besides as erstwhile professional soldiers with many years of experience, as well as those who have only received basic training. And they can anticipate a call for military practice. According to the announcements of the Ministry of Defence, by the end of 2026 vocations could receive as many as 200,000 people.
Ministry of Defence and General Staff of the Polish Army announced a thorough reconstruction of the Polish Army reserve system. It is essential due to the fact that it needs to be adapted to modern realities. There is simply a lot to do, due to the fact that although in fresh years the Polish military has undergone a technological and digital revolution, the reserves mentally and hardwarely stopped at the phase of essential military service. The reservists who had been called up for the exercise had to do only a bad duty, and the military itself was besides in problem due to the fact that the army did not have an thought of how to usage these people. After specified training, it was common to stay frustrated and negative opinions about bad activities, waste of time and deficiency of equipment.
These department stories want to cut off a large line. The reserve under the fresh rules will be based on 3 pillars. 2 types of passive reserve will appear alongside the active one: advanced and constant readiness (in both cases only for volunteers). There are besides plans to improve reservists. And that's not all. With a view to the appropriate preparation of the reserves, the school of the reserves will return known from the interwar. Read more about the redevelopment of the reserve strategy and fresh possibilities for reserve holders in the April issue of “Polish Armed Forces”.
In the latest issue of the monthly magazine, however, we do not focus only on reserveists. We study on the efforts of the ORP crew "Contradmiral Xawery Czernicki" during the naval patrol as part of Operation "Baltic Sentry", we besides compose about training volunteers of voluntary essential military service, we check how Polish artillerymen from the service of the Haubic K9 are trained and we observe training of Ukrainian soldiers conducted in Polish fields.
I besides urge texts on space topics. Colonel Leszek Paszkowski, Head of the Geospatial designation and Satellite Services Agency (ARGUS), talks about building Polish satellite constellations and space arms race. In the monthly magazine you will besides read about dual-use space technologies. Did you know that suborbital rocket components are utilized in weaponry?
I refer, for example, to the materials on training in Dęblin, the sub-commissioners who will be piloting AH-64 helicopters in the future, and the text revealing the scenes of refueling fighters in the air or the relation with Europe's most crucial "Cobra Warrior" aircraft manoeuvres.
There is no deficiency of information from the planet in the April "pezetka", from a large policy and its impact on security. We write, among others, about what is happening in the mediate East, about fresh technologies and modern weapons. We do not forget what has already happened – we mention, among others, the Katyn crime, the service in the conspiracy during planet War II and more contemporary – the defence of City Hall in 2004 in Iraqi Karbala. And with manager Krzysztof Zanussi we talk about the function of the army and past in his films.
Good reading!
