NATO's third largest army, Poland, ready to train 400,000 more new soldiers

Poland will introduce a new military training program this month as part of a broader plan to train around 400,000 people by 2026, the Defense Ministry said on Thursday.

Buoyed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Poland now spends more of its GDP on defense than any other NATO member. It has grown to the alliance's third-largest army, with 216,000 personnel, and plans to expand its forces by nearly a third over the next decade.

Dubbed by Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz as "the largest defense training in Polish history," the "On Readiness" program will be voluntary and open to all citizens - from schoolchildren to working adults, companies and the elderly.

The program will offer a basic safety course, survival training, medical instruction and cyber classes.

"In November and December alone (...) we will train about 20,000 people in individual training, but the total number..., in terms of all forms of training, is about 100,000 people," Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk said at a conference.

The ministry plans next year to train approximately 400,000 people "individually, in groups, as part of 'Education with the Army', reservist training and voluntary compulsory military service," Tomczyk added.
