Poland

In Poland, there are plans to create a high-readiness reserve from 2026, which will allow up to 500,000 military personnel to be mobilized quickly.

At the same time, some reservists will undergo regular training, and participation in the program will be voluntary and paid, according to Censor.NET.

The new format should provide up to 500,000 military personnel if necessary.

Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz says that men and women will serve on equal terms. It is planned that 300,000 military personnel will form a professional army and territorial defense forces, and 200,000 will be reservists of various types.
