Polish officers to get top posts at NATO Afghan mission

The first group of officers has just returned after a six months tour of duty in command of NATO in Kabul. The group, counting 164 soldiers from nine different countries, included 68 Poles. "NATO is planning to send the Polish corps to Kabul in January 2010," said General Zdzisław Goral, the head of the Multinational North-East Corps in Szczecin, adding that the final decision is yet to be announced. Most probably another 70 Polish officers will be sent to take over the top posts at the mission. (Dziennik, p. 11) A.K.
