The "Train with the Army" initiative is part of a broader effort to familiarize the public with basic defense skills and to ensure individuals feel secure.

From May 11 to July 13, participants can attend these sessions at selected military bases across Poland.

Each eight-hour session, led by military personnel, offers basic skills training including weapon handling, survival techniques, close combat, medical aid, and how to behave during alarms. The program aims to enrich participants with military skills, proper crisis behavior, and civil defense knowledge.

Registration is straightforward — applicants need only provide their name, age, and contact information. Insurance and meals are provided.

The initiative, which has so far seen over 23,000 participants in four editions and one special edition, boasts a high satisfaction rate. Over 98% of participants report meeting their expectations, and 99% would recommend the program to others.
