Programme 2009-2012: Assessment Attempt
The Polish MoD has presented an unclassified description of the classified Annex for the Technological Modernisation Programme 2007-2012 that covers the years 2009-2012. Bogdan Klich, the Minister of Defence, was forced to sign this Annex facing lack of approval of the President Lech Kaczyński for the prepared Programme 2009-2018. According to previous forecasts it stipulates the manning level of the permanent army of some 100,000 soldiers, but also the liquidation of the HQs of the 1st 'City of Warsaw' Mechanised Division, the Pomeranian and Silesian Military Districts (now within the Inspectorate of Support of the Polish Armed Forces) and over a dozen garrisons. The number of general mechanised brigades will be reduced to 10, although the Ground Forces Aviation Brigade will be established and Special Forces will be expanded.
