There are more and more signs of a return to recruitment, and the army is preparing for a big change.

The article discusses growing signals indicating the potential reintroduction of conscription in Poland, with military leaders suggesting the question is no longer 'if' but 'when' conscription will return. The topic has been debated politically, including by the President's National Security Office and European Parliament member Michał Dworczyk, who published a report advocating for universal military service. Arguments include building personnel reserves and fostering national community values. Currently, Poland has over 200,000 professional soldiers and volunteers, but during wartime, this number could increase significantly, requiring mass training of reservists. However, there are no concrete cost estimates provided by the Ministry of Defense or the General Staff regarding the financial implications of reintroducing conscription.
