The Polish military has launched the “Holiday with the Army” program, offering voluntary military training to citizens in preparation for a potential conflict with Russia, as reported by Associated Press.
The program includes paid military training for citizens aged 18 to 35 during the summer, spanning 28 days without leave. Participants will take the military oath and serve as soldiers in the National Army, with options to join reserves or regional defense forces.
Polish authorities aim to significantly expand their military, currently consisting of 198,000 soldiers, to confront Russia amidst tensions in the region. Politicians have expressed concerns about the conflict in Ukraine, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk warning of a “pre-war era” in Europe.
