Work is underway on the amendment of the Law on Defence of the Motherland. The aim of the changes is, among another things, to make incentives to take voluntary non-professional forms of military service, to improve the recruitment process and its conduct, as well as to organise staff and disciplinary issues. The task includes a full of respective proposals for fresh solutions.
Changes in intellectual studies
One of these concerns the intellectual examination of applicants for military service: voluntary, territorial and active reserves. Currently, if a person, within 3 years of being given an active military service in a military qualification, applies for specified a service, he does not request to undergo medical and intellectual examinations. I want this recipe gone. “This solution involves a advanced hazard of bringing a individual incapable to serve. It may happen that from the date of granting the category to the date of establishment the psychophysical condition of the volunteer will deteriorate – the representatives of the MON admit. Each volunteer, therefore, in the framework of the recruitment procedure, will be directed to compulsory medical and intellectual examinations, regardless of the affirmative results of tests carried out in the framework of military qualifications.
The fresh rules are intended to let the direction to the military medical commissions of persons who will declare their willingness to change their category of military service capacity due to the deterioration of health, confirmed by medical documentation. "This solution was prepared mainly for those who, many years ago during military qualifications, gained the "A" category of military service, while during those years they de facto lost this capacity," argued representatives of the MON.
Studying abroad
Positive solutions have been proposed to direct soldiers to survey abroad. fresh in case of a journey to a abroad course or an internship of more than six months will be the anticipation of a soldier leaving with his family. The MON will then reimburse the costs of the family's stay, her insurance, and the children's education. The change, as the representatives of the Ministry of National Defence justify, is linked to always longer and demanding abroad courses, which are essential for the service of modern equipment introduced into the army.
The fresh proposals are besides intended to strengthen the support of military parental marriages and facilitate their reconciliation of work and individual life. The draft amendment provides for an increase in the age of the kid (from 4 to 8 years) which entitles to restrict the joint posting of soldiers' spouses outside the permanent place of service.
New Services
An Introduction incentive provision for non-professional soldiers and for professional soldiers at the time of training at a military college, a junior advanced school, a training centre or a training centre. It is intended to function like the additional incentive benefit that professionals receive today. The work is granted temporarily by the head of the MON erstwhile a soldier, for example, serves in exceptional circumstances or places, has peculiar qualifications or performs tasks peculiarly crucial to the armed forces. The provision of a fresh group of soldiers is justified – both at the borderand during this year's flood action The territorialists were active in relief activities and did akin tasks as professional soldiers.
The amendment is besides intended to rebururocratise the rules for granting professional supplements to soldiers: service for service, motivation and long-term military service. At present, decisions on their granting are issued for a limited or indefinite period, but no longer than the service of a soldier in a given service post. In practice, this means that there is simply a request to spend quite a few duplicated documents. After the amendment of the provisions, the long-term service allowance will be granted erstwhile for the duration of the service and 2 another allowances: the service and incentive allowances for the service in the unit.
Changes in discipline and support for defence organisations
The proposed changes besides concern military discipline, specifically the establishment of commanders: battalion and company disciplinary bodies. – The current solution leads to a situation where these commanders, having the most cognition of soldiers, do not have the power to initiate disciplinary proceedings. As a result, this leads to lengthy proceedings, which consequence in the withdrawal from their application in consequence to a breach of discipline by soldiers – the representatives of the MON admit. After changing the rules, these commanders will be able, for example, to initiate proceedings and settle insignificant disciplinary matters.
The proposed regulations supply for the anticipation of granting a peculiar grant to pro-defence organisations, and set out the tasks for the operational commander of the NATO and EU crisis management types of armed forces. Among another proposed regulations is the 1 that provides for the anticipation of mobilizing allowances to passive reserve soldiers for work positions in global organisations, global military structures or with the armed forces of abroad states stationed in Poland.
Due to the intensive activities undertaken in connection with the acquisition by the Polish military of weapons and equipment, any fresh solutions concern the operation of the Armed Forces Support Fund. 1 of the proposals is the anticipation of beginning a bank account at the central bank of the State carrying out the procurement of arms or military equipment or a bank representing the central bank. gross from the account is to be the proceeds of the fund.
On the occasion of the revision of the ministry, he did not forget about reserveists called for mandatory exercises between January and September 2023. Currently, due to a legal gap, they inactive cannot receive the money due to them for the cost of travelling to and from the military unit. With the fresh rules, they will be able to receive outstanding compensation.
