Poland’s Deputy Minister of Defence, Cezary Tomczyk, has indicated a potential return to mandatory military conscription. Currently, the Polish army relies on volunteers, and Tomczyk stated there is no immediate need for a draft as long as volunteer numbers remain sufficient. However, he warned that conscription may become unavoidable should the number of volunteers decline and national security demands increase. Tomczyk’s comments came during an interview with Wirtualna Polska, where he acknowledged the possibility of needing to resort to compulsory service. The discussion reflects growing concerns about bolstering Poland’s defense capabilities in the context of regional security challenges. While not an immediate plan, the possibility of reinstating the draft remains on the table as a future contingency. The decision will likely depend on evolving geopolitical factors and recruitment rates.
