Abstract
Each developed system of crisis management, including that functioning in Poland, has to provide protection of population against the effects of natural disasters or technological failures (Majchrzak, 2016). Potential of forces and assets being at the disposal of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland and the level of their readiness indicate on significant meaning of the national defence sector for assisting the states internal security by an active participation in crisis reactions (Michailiuk, Stpie, Denysiuk, 2016). Unfortunately, the national defence sector crisis management system has faced the second serious change for recent 10 years, and this time during the war in Ukraine. A quite legible division can be observed between the Command of Territorial Defence Troops and the Operational Headquarter of Armed Forces Services on the area of assignments protecting the population against the effects of natural disasters or technical failures in the first case, and on the area of assignments aimed to assist the services in keeping the internal security, including counteractions against terroristic threats, and ending on counteracting the military threats in the second case, what is presented in the paper. Unfortunately, it is not a holistic approach from the scientific point of view, and it also is not in line with the wordings of the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland from 2020. The justification for implementation of these changes can be proved by experience and conclusions of consecutive months and years, but it has to be added that the security environment is changing on a daily basis in this part of Europe.
