Soldiers and military staff from the 10th Logistics Brigade of Opole are an essential link to flood-fighting operations. They not only deliver food and water to the population, they besides care about military units operating there and WOT divisions. We are talking about the tasks put before the logistics squad with Lieutenant Dominika Góralska-Chmielarz, press spokesperson 10 BLog.
Polish logistics with drinking water reached points in Nysa. The needy are already utilizing the military.
What tasks does the 10th Logistics Brigade execute in the south of Poland in relation to the flood threat?
Lt. Dominica Góralska-Homielar: Their scope is very wide, due to the fact that they cover both actions straight for the population, through support for various types of services, to the safety of operational troops and territorial defence troops.
What are you doing for the civilian population?
Where the evacuation has been ordered, we aid with its efficient conduct. We besides started the supply of food and drinking water for those affected by the flood. This second task is given precedence due to the fact that we are aware that logistics has a large number of tanks and qualified soldiers.
And the service?
This is primarily aid in transport, specified as the fire department or the energy emergency, to the site of the action. specified services as energyists do not have their vehicles, which can be utilized for safe movement in the affected area or already flooded.
The 3rd area, although this is surely not the least crucial task, is the support of operational units and territorial defence troops which have been directed towards direct action.
In this case, we focus on organizing suitable conditions for soldiers to service – we supply food and accommodation, that is, a place to remainder after full service. Of course, there is besides logistics safety on our shoulders, i.e. the supply of propellants and lubricants to hundreds of vehicles active in the anti-crisis operation. We besides deal with the transport of specialized equipment specified as PTS. Only us, or more specifically our 82 Oleśnicki Equipment Evacuation Battalion, we have at our disposal low chassis kits and drivers with the right to carry specified vehicles.
However, that is not all, you are besides entrusted with mobilization issues.
More specifically, the safety of reservists who are called up for service in connection with a crisis situation. We have residential containers prepared for them on our garrison, as well as specialised containers, specified as laundry and baths, where they will have good conditions for rest.
Soon you will receive the support of the second logistics brigade – 1 BLog from Bydgoszcz.
We are very pleased that our colleagues from the Bydgoszcz brigade will support us, due to the fact that tasks are rapidly coming, and our resources, human and hardware, are not unlimited. Specialist equipment specified as water tankers, low chassis kits, HIABs, aggregates or containers are now on the weight of gold. You request a specialized soldier for this equipment. In fact, only a military unit akin to ours is able to operate in the logistics direction we presently operate. Currently, the most sought-after drivers are kat. C and C+E.
