Poland to Train 100,000 Military Volunteers Annually by 2027

Prime Minister Donald Tusk announces a plan to expand Poland's military reserves, focusing on readiness against potential threats.

Poland plans to train up to 100,000 military volunteers annually by 2027 as part of a large-scale defense initiative.
The program targets adults aged 18 to 60, offering a one-month basic training followed by optional specialized courses over 11 months.
The government aims to triple its reserve force, complementing its professional army and territorial defense units.
Poland's defense spending is set to reach 4.7% of GDP in 2025, making it one of NATO's highest defense budgets.
The initiative is driven by concerns over potential threats from Russia, with a focus on modernizing and strengthening national security.
