The Polish military plans to recruit civilian volunteers to form a National Guard-style paramilitary force aimed at preparing for a “hybrid war” with Russia, the Polish Defense Ministry has announced.
The first batch of volunteers will be recruited in September, German news resource Spiegel Online has reported.
The state will pay each volunteer 500 zlotys (about €125 a month), and they will undergo regular weekend training. The volunteers will be commanded by professional soldiers.
“The territorial defense force is our response to the threat associated with hybrid warfare,” Grzegorz Kwasniak, the Defense Ministry official responsible for creating the new group, said at a press conference on Thursday.
