Participation of units and troops of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland in crisis situations

Abstract

Ensuring security is one of the fundamental existential goals of nations. It is among the most important needs of every human being. Without satisfying the need for security, we can hardly speak of the existence, survival, development and ordinary everyday functioning of society. A world full of possibilities and diversity can also be a cruel world, creating a sense of threat. The implementation of state tasks in the field of national security depends, among other things, on effective crisis management. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, as the executive agent of the crisis management system, take an active part in counteracting and combating crisis situations. The purpose of this work is to characterize the crisis management system in Poland, present the legal bases and procedures for the use of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland in crisis situations and analyze the legitimacy and effectiveness of the use of military units and troops in this type of incidents.
