Abstract

The new national security vision of Poland came after political transformation in Po-land in 1989, the liquidation of the Warsaw Pact and aspirations to join the Western security and political system. After joining the NATO (1999), admission to the European Union (2004), has been fully integrated with the structures of these institutions. This placed the new chal-lenges by identifying key priorities in its national security. New quality in the global and national security occurred on 11 September 2001, since when it has directly threatened the security of the United States. Under the influence of the country were changed the strategy of global security, followed by the national security of many countries, including the Polish market. In it, there was also the threat of international terrorism and declaration – also actively involved – to participate in its combat missions. A particularly important tool for the implementation of national security strategy, in addition to international guarantees and block and properly conducted foreign policy, is to have adequate national military capabilities including appropriate to the threats of the armed forces. The management of Polish political and military formally recognizes that premise – this has been reflected in the developed "Vision – 2030 Armed Forces."
