Summary/Abstract: In each country special forces are a unique formation. They often carry out specific tasks on the political, strategic and operational level of command. They are formed by teams of highly and professionally trained soldiers, often equipped with a unique, unheard ofelse where armament and technical equipment. The effective ness and efficiency of their actions also depend on the proper command of these forces. In this respect, the organization of command is of considerable importance. In the case of the Polish Special Forcest here was a total reorganization of their command and control system in 2014. This material constitutes an attempt to answer the question whether these actions were appropriate and how their consequences affected the possibilities of command, and thus the effectiveness of such armed forces.
