Summary/Abstract: Military Counterintelligence Service (SKW) is one of two military special services which were involved in the cover and security information for the Polish Military Contingent performing the tasks mandated in the framework of coalition forces (International Security Assistance Forces - ISAF) in Afghanistan. According to security experts and politicians this service complied perfectly with the tasks set before, although there was no shortage of criticism for alleged errors. Actions involving SKW or those carried out on the basis of information provided by them during the period of the ISAF mission were positively evaluated by representatives of the coalition forces and contributed to a positive image of Polish Task Force as a reliable and professional partner.
