Training Needs of the Polish Navy in the Light of Transformations of Security Threats and Functions of the Armed Forces

Summary/Abstract: The article specifies the scope of specialist training in the Polish Navy, taking into account the transformation of the security environment. In the author’s understanding, this system consists of both schools educating officers and a training process carried out in a military unit, supplemented by exercises and various forms of supplementary education. Its thematic scope, apart from general knowledge, should result from the specifics of the national security policy, conditions for conducting activities under the cooperative system (military alliances, ad hoc coalitions and regional arrangements) and the adopted concept of the development of armed forces and their technical equipment. In the case of marine forces, additional factors affecting the shape of the training system include international requirements concerning the scope of specialist knowledge of sea workers and the specificity of independent operation on sea areas, requiring the ability to make a decision with a limited impact on the final shape of the high-level command. For this reason, the article does not fully address the scope of general training and the level of maritime training, since the application of the STCW Convention requirements is a basic requirement. On the other hand, with reference to combat training, it was considered that during the study the future officers of the Polish Armed Forces should only become acquainted with the principles of conducting combat operations of naval forces, equipment and weapons and command elements, and practical skills – should be successively acquired as part of training activities in military units and specialist courses. This is defined by the way of organizing the training system in the Polish Armed Forces, which should be divided into three stages. The proposed solutions are the original concept of not only the training process at the Polish Armed Forces, but a vision of using the potential of naval forces to implement the policy of the state, in which the training system plays a significant role.
