Abstract

The aim of the presented article is to present the possibility of including the cadets of Certified Military Uniformed Classes in the state security system in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence and to recommend further action aimed at the participation of students in the defence and security system of the Republic of Poland. The article will also present an analysis of how the potential of several vintages of trained high school graduates can be implemented into the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, as well as projections for the continuation of the training of the Military Preparation Classes (OPW), as the legal successor of the CWKM programme. The article presents the assumptions of the CWKM training process and the possibilities of using the potential of graduates of these classes in the implementation of building a strong and secure state on the basis of the process of inference and analysing their practical dimension. The paper will also include experiences and conclusions from the stay of CWKM students at the training camps of NATO countries – Baltic Guards in the UK 2019 and Latvia in 2018, as a first step towards interoperability of future personnel resources of the Polish Armed Forces with NATO countries.
