Translated from German via Google Translate:

Poland is upgrading: Our eastern neighbour is increasingly threatened by Russia and is therefore launching a large programme for the voluntary military training of its citizens.

The pilot phase of the project “On standby” will be on 22. November begins, Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said in Warsaw. The goal is to train 400,000 citizens next year.

“We live in the most dangerous times since the Second World War. Behind our border, a war is raging, there are acts of sabotage in the Baltic Sea and fighting in cyberspace," said Kosiniak-Kamysz, referring to the neighboring country Ukraine, which was attacked by Russia.

That's why the program was worked out. It is aimed at “all Polish citizens who want to participate” – from children of primary school age to employees and senior citizens.

The trainings last a day​

The program consists of four modules: Basics on Security, Survival, First Aid and Cybersecurity. The training sessions take place on the weekend, each module usually lasts one day, the Digital Ministry wrote on X. Through an app, every citizen can book the training courses they are interested in near their place of residence.

Companies can also arrange group training for the entire workforce. “The defense training is not equivalent to the service in the army, they do not end with an oath or entry in the list of reservists,” the Digital Ministry said.

Poland hopes for more soldiers for its army​

The EU and Nato-Country Poland is one of Ukraine's closest political and military allies. It also has an important role as a logistical hub for the West's military aid to Kiev. Poland also sees itself threatened by Russia and is therefore massively upgrading.

Poland's army currently has 210,300, according to the Defense Ministry Soldiers. Among them are 37,000 volunteers in the so-called home service WOT. The target: 300,000 troops in the regular force.

To fill the gap, set Poland For some time now, military short training has been launched to a new level.

Lmao first aid training alone is 3 days for a full qualification.

That army would be more useful carrying out a deislamification of western Europe. So of course the main concern are the Russians who haven't the will or ability to take over Poland.

Poland has a pretty good mix of tanks. K2s from South Korea, M1s from the US, Leopards and domestically produced PT-91 Twardies. The PT-91 has a gay name but it's probably pretty decent. All in all in fits in well with the rule of thumb that you import some kit and also build domestic stuff which is almost as good as the imports but is cheaper. Actually in Poland's case they did this but then donated the domestic tanks and got Uncle Sam to backfill them with M1s. Also the 'domestic' tanks were actually a Polish upgrade of the T-72s which they had already been supplied with in huge numbers by the Ruskies. Also I would expect Poles to not be keen on getting overrun by the Russians. Not keen at all. So they've got the kit and they're out for some payback for Katyn and basically all of history before 1989 which means the Polish public won't winge once their forces start committing horrible atrocities on captured invaders and uploading them to Youtube. Also Youtube generally isn't too strict on atrocities against Russian POWs post Ukraine. It'll probably put them on the Featured page and show them to you when you're looking for videos to find out how to do shit around the house.

Its funny because WW1 was objectively a good thing for Poland as it was its birth as an independent country, WW2 not so much. ..

Guess they want to be ready for round 3. I can't say anything negative about this, its a good idea.

Really feels like a "See? We ARE doing something" sort of thing, just for show. Could be wrong, tho.

Poland has an honest body of armed forces to call on that they treat as professuonals, unlike the rest of Europe who have glorified Boy Scouts with National Guard tier equipment that they treat as jobs programs. Those are the real just for show people.

I've had onboarding for work that lasted longer. I suppose watching videos about DEI is more time-consuming lol

That might be a good thing in War Thunder but not IRL. It's a logistics clusterfuck.

I don't think the Poles are too worried about the forces of Islam given their track record against them. They haven't done so well against the Russians in the past, however.

 

[Male Idiot]

They give half or one third of a Volksturm training. They can't even do half of what an already invaded Reich could, at peace. This is why they can't into space.

What is this gay shit, do the usual thing of taking everyone around ages 20 to shoot guns which would be both fun and more helpful.

About 100000 crossed the border from Ukraine, after they opened it for the 18 - 22 year old males. The whole British army is about 70000. Lets hope the Poles pay attention.

Poland is also closer to Russia and borders several "historically Russian" states.
Unlike Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Norway or the UK, the Polish don't have the luxury of "talking the talk".

Whether you agree or disagree with the Polish assessment that Russia is a clear and present existential threat, the Poles at least act with that information on the assumption that they need to spend more time and money bolstering their military rather than $69420 bazillion to make Wujahar Al Rapegangnigeri feel more comfortable living in Europe...
