Hundreds of thousands of Poles can receive a call to the army in 2025. Mobilisation will include both reservists and individuals without military experience. See if you're on the list and what the consequences are of ignoring the vocation.
In 2025 the Polish Army plans to carry out the largest mobilization in years, covering both reservists and individuals without erstwhile military experience. According to authoritative data, the Polish Armed Forces presently number around 550 1000 soldiersof which more than 300 1000 are reservists..
In accordance with the applicable rules, appointments may be given to:
Private Reservists – to 55 years of age,
Petty officers and reserve officers – to 63 years of age,
Persons without military training, but having military-relevant qualifications (e.g. medics, drivers, IT professionals),
Persons with military qualificationswho have been given the category of ability to serve.
Although detailed information on the division of units for mobilized individuals is classified, the Ministry of National Defence ensures that appropriate structures are already formed. The erstwhile head of the National safety Bureau, General Prof. Stanisław Koziej, pointed out, however, that Poland does not have extended reserve formations, which raises questions about the usage of specified large individual resources.
