Poland is expanding its national security preparations through military recruitment, administrative reforms, and broad societal defense initiatives. The Ministry of National Defence has finalized regulations for a 2027 military qualification process involving approximately 245,000 individuals, primarily targeting men born in 2008 and those born between 2003 and 2007, alongside women in critical technical and medical fields. To bolster digital defense, the Ministry has launched the ‘Akademia_CYBER.MIL’ program to develop cybersecurity competencies. Efforts to enhance social resilience also include the ‘Mapuj Pomoc’ initiative and local crisis management training. Recent legislative developments focus on a new framework, colloquially termed the ‘pre-war law’ or ‘pre-war act,’ designed to bridge the legal gap between peace and martial law. This legislation aims to prepare the state for hybrid, cyber, and disinformation threats, allowing for more rapid deployment of Polish and allied troops and better integration with the NATO Response System. ~~The act may regulate the use of armed forces~~ Recruitment efforts have expanded to include civilian specialists for ~~kinetic actions and clarify cooperation between military~~ the Polish Armed Forces, seeking roles such as IT experts, engineers, medical rescuers, and ~~uniformed services.
