New benefit for reservists. The Ministry of National Defence proposes 3250 PLN for training and exercises

The Polish Ministry of National Defense has proposed amendments to the Defense of the Fatherland Act, aiming to introduce voluntary training for reserve personnel. This initiative seeks to enhance Poland's resilience by creating a base of trained citizen-soldiers with both civilian and military skills. The proposal includes a financial benefit for reservists who complete a minimum of eight days of training annually, estimated to cost around 13 million PLN in 2027. Additionally, the project mandates civil defense employees to report private travel outside the Schengen area and provides legal assistance for soldiers facing lawsuits related to their duties. The amendments also aim to strengthen the role of the Military Property Agency in supporting the Polish Armed Forces and allied foreign troops.
