Michał Dworczyk, in a recent defense convention of the Law and Justice Party (PiS) in Stalowa Wola, expressed his concerns regarding the current state of the Polish armed forces, particularly focusing on the reserve system. He shared his personal experience of being assigned to the Military Gendarmerie, a placement he deemed inappropriate due to a lack of competence for that role. Dworczyk labeled these types of assignments as 'typical examples of simulated action' within the military, highlighting that such inefficiencies reflect a broader issue in the operational readiness of Poland's reserves.

Furthermore, Dworczyk emphasized the vital importance of an effective reserve system in modern warfare, using Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia as a poignant illustration. He underscored that reserves play a critical role in military operations during wartime and compared Poland's capabilities to those of Finland, citing Finland's ability to mobilize a significant number of soldiers quickly. He stated that Finland can mobilize 380,000 soldiers in a short time and over 900,000 within six months, while details regarding Poland's mobilization capacity remain classified but are considerably lower.

This comparison raises important questions about Poland’s military preparedness in the face of potential threats. Dworczyk's comments could prompt discussions about necessary reforms and improvements in the Polish defense strategy, especially as tensions with neighboring countries persist. The perceived inadequacies in reserves may also fuel public debate and political discourse surrounding military funding and reforms in Poland as the government assesses its national security infrastructure in light of regional challenges.
