In 2027 Poland will be able to train military 100,000 volunteers during the year, said Prime Minister Donald Tusk. He besides announced the adoption of solutions designed to velocity up investment in defence 3 times.
In the afternoon, the head of government said that ministers and another members of the state administration would besides be able to rise their military skills. However, their participation in the training will be voluntary.
Tusk at the beginning of the Tuesday government gathering referred to the thought of universal military training, which he presented in the Sejm on Friday. As he pointed out, the program is constantly consulted with the head of MON Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish.
The Prime Minister argued that there was no shortage of those willing to service their country, but, as he explained, training is not available today. “We request to increase the capacity of the state so that everyone curious in military training can and can participate in it,” he said. “Besides the professional army and outside the WOT we must build a de facto army of reservists and this will be served by our actions,” he added.
Tusk recalled that the basic military training is now taking a period and that all individual who participates receives PLN 6,000. “The most crucial thing for us is that each curious individual can participate in specified training in 2026 at the latest. This means a hard task, but I know it is feasible," said the head of government.
By 2027, the number of trainees is to be doubled, as the Prime Minister indicated. “ In 2027, we will be able to train 100,000 volunteers over a year,” he declared, adding that the defence department would most likely be prepared by the end of March to see how a model to increase the number of trainings available would function.
At the moment, basic training in voluntary essential military service may be provided annually by about 40,000 people. Monthly basic training is an entry into service in operational troops; candidates hold them as part of a voluntary basic military service, which they can then proceed with up to 11 months of specialist training; after this they may, for example, apply for admission to professional service.
