Over the years, more than 120,000 soldiers and military personnel have participated in more than 89 missions. 122 soldiers lost their lives.
The UN mission in Cambodia was 1 of the missions in which our soldiers risked their wellness and life in the name of global security.
The Transitional Administration of the United Nations in Cambodia–UNTAC was a unique UN mission in the 1990s due to its multidimensionality, objectives and tasks pursued. It was besides unique in geopolitical realities, as it was the first mission of the Armed Forces of Poland after the overthrow of communism in Poland in 1989 and following the political changes. It was besides the first mission in the past of the UN in which military contingents from Germany and Japan participated.

The author then focuses on the UNTAC logistics strategy due to the fact that the Polish Military Quota (PKW) carried out logistical and bomb tasks.

An interesting panel of the exhibition is the presentation of dangerous events in which Polish soldiers participated, including the crash of the transport chopper and the fight against the Red Khmers in defence of life and property in positions in Kampong Tom and Siem Reap.

The last accent of the exhibition is simply a board presenting the activity of the Veterans Brotherhood Association in Poland. many photographs in large format - mostly previously unpublished and first exhibits make an exhibition interesting and informative.
Without doubt, the added value of the exhibition is based on the individual experiences and observations of the author, who was

Logistics/Section 4 Liaison Officer at UNTAC Headquarters.
The intention of the exhibition organizer is to pay tribute to all veterans for their dedication in service to global security. It is simply a valuable educational, historical and retrospective task that is worth seeing.
