Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to answer the question: how Polish Armed Forces respond to non-military threats in the crisis management system? It presents the structure and crisis management plans of the Ministry of National Defence, as well as the strength and the measures that the Polish Armed Forces may designate to undertake the tasks in the crisis management system. It indicates the main reasons for increasing the role of the Polish Armed Forces in this system, as well as the existing shortcomings, especially in the field of cooperation between the military and civilian components. It also points to the elements in the functioning of the crisis management system and the Polish Armed Forces in this system, which have a decisive impact to ensure national security.
