Promotions in the Polish Army. Chief of Staff for another term

President Karol Nawrocki will officially appoint General Wiesław Kukuła as Chief of Staff during Independence Day celebrations, although Kukuła effectively began his second term on October 10, 2026. He previously became Chief of Staff three years ago following the unexpected resignations of his predecessors due to conflicts with the defense minister. On November 10, ten officers were promoted, including Ireneusz Nowak to Major General, who has faced criticism for pilot training issues. Controversy surrounds the promotion of Piotr Bieniek, linked to a past incident involving police. Following these promotions, the Polish Army will have approximately 170 generals, reflecting its growing size.
