Summary/Abstract: In order to provide effective, universal and spatial defense of the Polish State, and at the same time to carry out the collective defence tasks of the Alliance, it is indispensable to create a defense system with an effective deterrence potential. Effective defence requires effective coordination between the military and other state institutions. Territorial Defence as a component of a genuinely effective, modern military structure – included in the process of universal youth education and training, Polish Army reserve training, support to local communities and non-military cells in the event of a crisis (military or non-military), and during the war and possible occupation, protection and defence of important facilities and areas throughout the territory of the country, cooperation with regular operational units, and support units and civilian defence and defence structures, provide an effective and up-to-date defence of both military and non-military threats to national security.
