Polish military units hold swearing-in ceremonies for new soldiers
On October 24, multiple Polish military units held swearing-in ceremonies for new recruits. In Cieszanów, over 70 volunteers officially joined the 20th Przemyśl Border Defense Brigade. These new soldiers, drawn from the brigade's area of responsibility including the Sanok region, completed basic training covering marksmanship, tactics, first aid, communications, and topography.
Colonel Daniel Błotko, commander of the 20th Przemyśl Border Defense Brigade, addressed the recruits, emphasizing their role as guarantors of local security. Following this ceremony, the new soldiers will begin a three-year training cycle within sub-units located in Przemyśl, Jarosław, and Sanok.
Simultaneously, in Międzyrzecz, 150 trainees from the 17th Wielkopolska Mechanized Brigade took their oaths. These recruits, training in the Międzyrzecz and Wędrzyn garrisons, are part of the 11th Lubuskie Armored Cavalry Division. The 17th Brigade, often referred to as the 'Digital Brigade,' is tasked with military operations and crisis response both domestically and internationally.
