4,500 recruits start voluntary military service

"We are steadily increasing the size of the Polish Armed Forces. Today, over 4,500 individuals are beginning military training as part of the voluntary basic military service," wrote Minister of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak on Twitter.

On August 28th, the sixth basic training course for voluntary basic military service started, with two more planned for this year. Currently, there are over 175,000 soldiers under arms in Poland. Volunteers for voluntary service receive a salary of PLN  4,960 and the opportunity to enhance their professional qualifications. Those who complete the training gain priority in recruitment for professional military service, along with support for transitioning to the reserve or pursuing roles in the public administration sector.
