Polish Army Recruiting Volunteers For Military Training - Defense Minister

The Polish army is recruiting volunteers aged 15-65 for military training in the hope of attracting more people to service, Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said on Monday.

"We have decided that students can also take part in the training. We invite everyone aged 15-65. In the case of minors, parental consent is required," Blaszczak told a press briefing.

The recruitment project, dubbed Train with the Army, is aimed at teaching "as many people as possible" basic skills, such as maintaining weapons, providing medical care, surviving, managing crisis situations and making fire in emergencies, the Polish defense minister added.
