In 2009, erstwhile essential military service was suspended, a gap arose in the process of reserve training. Over time, it became clear that the reserve recovery strategy for the armed forces was dismantled. present the thought of returning to essential military service is, to put it mildly, not popular. So how do we get out of a stalemate? Let us scope to the good methods of II Poland and introduce military training at the basic level as part of compulsory education in schools.
Recall, at the end of the term, in 2009, the primary military service lasted 9 months and was divided into basic (one month) and specialised (two months) training, and a period devoted to gathering forces within a division (six months). The basic training program was common to all types of armed forces and ended with an exam on the firing of a full-time weapon and an oath. The training of the soldier (basic and specialized) lasted 3 months, with about 150 hours spent each period in classes. At the end of the rip-off period, the Private Division was transferred to the reserve and received a mobilisation allocation.
Dismantling system
The Reichs of Trained Reserves are the basis of all efficient army. Meanwhile, a replacement mechanics was not introduced to replace essential military service. The strategy of reproduction of individual reserves for the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland has been dismantled. The existing reserves of trained soldiers as a consequence of the interruption of the supply of "fresh blood" began to shrink year by year. The situation did not save firing, by law, from contract service Privates with 12 years of experience. present (since the suspension of ZSW) the actual work of the citizen is to participate in military qualifications, after which it is classified as a passive reserve and receives the rank of the serial reserve. A passive reserve is 1 of the most misleading concepts utilized to describe the state's defence potential. This set includes, for example, both a series of reserves trained during the CSF, a series of reserves which are 12 contract years old serving military service and respective missions, as well as the mentioned series of reserves after military qualification, without any military training.
16 years ago, the decision to suspend essential military service and make a professional army was made easy by politicians. Restoring specified service would be a much harder task today. The main obstacle is the deficiency of clear social consent, as shown by the survey (according to various sources, about half of Poles are against). possibly someday, in the face of an expanding threat, they will advocate the return of the U.S.A., but it will most likely be besides late. due to the fact that the army reserves are trained before, not after the war.
To solve this problem, you gotta start operating systemically. We already know that basic training can be shorter, but more intensive than the ISCS. This was shown by territorial defence troops and voluntary primary military service. possibly it would be worthwhile to make specified a strategy of basic military training outside the military.
Pre-collection
During the II period of the Polish Republic, there was a military adoption of school youth. From 1927 to 1937 it was optional and from 1937 it was mandatory. This importantly relieved the structures of the Polish Army from the implementation of part of the program of training of privates. It included alleged pre-compulsory, or men's youth over the age of 15. The organisation and implementation of the IR was the work of the State Office for Physical Education and Military Adoption, the manager of which was subject to the Minister of Military Affairs. Since 1937, the military adoption program has been implemented in school groups in the 4th grade of junior advanced and in the first and second grade of advanced school. about 100 hours per year were spent on PE: 2 lessons per week, 4 half-day meetings of 5 hours, and 2 day trips of 10 hours each. An example of the scope of the PW program in the 4th grade of junior advanced school included 3 departments: shooting, tactics and service rules. The topography class was conducted by a geography teacher. In the first and second grade of advanced school, military adoptions of the second and 3rd grades were conducted, including tactical training of the gunner and teams, and shooting training involving combat firearm shootings. Each infantry, cavalry, and artillery regiment had an assigned PW Oblast, in which area appointed sub-commissioners-instructors conducted tactics and shooting training classes in individual PW schools. The TA graduates had a full of 12 weeks of primary military service: they were appointed later (released from the first six weeks), and additionally had six weeks of leave.
Education especially for security
One of the subjects conducted in the current education strategy is Education for safety (EDB). After 1 hr a week, students of the elder year of primary school and first year of advanced school have it. The analysis of the objectives and scope of the teaching material described in the EDB Ministerial Regulation shows that there is simply a anticipation use of education strategy in Poland to relieve the burden of the Armed Forces of Poland in the preparation of future series of basic training reserves. This training can be carried out within the EDB, as well as a tiny number of hours from Polish, history, geography and during the training course. I believe that, as part of the courses, organised in cooperation with military units, these topics should be implemented from tactical, weapon training (including tiny arms shooting), bombardment, communications and reconnaissance, which does not include the scope of the Education for Security. Classes should be conducted by sub-commissioned instructors from military units or pro-defensive organizations. It would besides be essential to introduce the EDB to another advanced school classes. This will enable a thorough transfer of cognition and education of essential skills and habits. In this option of training individual reserves, the Minister of Defence and the Minister of Education in the Common Regulation should clarify the principles of cooperation between military units and schools concerning the conduct of classes and training courses. These courses should crown basic military training and end with a military oath.
Military training of pupils requires the engagement of instructors from the armed forces and pro-defensive organisations and a large organisational work to "link" circumstantial advanced schools to military units of operational troops which are not evenly deployed within the country. The possible of WOT in individual voivodships, which should let for substantive support for training young people, may be useful here.
With the good will of politicians and the engagement of the applicable institutions, specified a solution would enable the general military training of successive student years and future reserve soldiers at the basic level of science. Returning to essential service is not essential here. Further training of private reserves, namely training of a specialist and collecting within a sub-chapter may take place during military exercises, in accordance with the needs of the armed forces. But that's another subject.
