Poland is initiating a large-scale civil defense program, offering survival skills training to prepare citizens for potential crises. This initiative aims to strengthen the link between the military and society as Poland reinforces its position on NATO's eastern flank.

As it races to become NATO’s frontline fortress against Russia, Poland has launched large-scale civilian courses teaching survival skills during times of crisis. The programme is intended to help bridge the gap between the military and society while psychologically preparing civilians for war.
