Poland Drafts ‘Pre-War’ Readiness Law to Speed Up Allied Troop Deployment
Poland’s Defense Ministry is drafting a law to prepare the state for a heightened readiness phase before martial law is declared, Polish media reported on Friday, Oct. 2. The bill would essentially allow earlier deployment of Polish and allied troops and address hybrid, cyber and disinformation threats.
Poland's Defense Ministry is drafting legislation to prepare the country for a "pre-war" phase of full defense readiness, allowing troops and institutions to mobilize before martial law is formally declared. The draft, currently in internal consultations, aims to strengthen Poland's defense capabilities, improve cooperation between armed forces and internal security services, and adapt regulations to contemporary threats like hybrid, cyber, and disinformation threats.
By covering the period between regular peacetime operations and a formal declaration of martial law, the bill would allow Poland to deploy troops, including allied forces, to critical areas earlier than current rules permit.
