Common defence means an aware and trained society

Polish Defensive Shooting Association

We strengthen Poland's defence and security — training, consulting and building the Polish model of common defence. The only way to reach the necessary level of deterrence.

Common defence

Common defence is the collective effort of the whole of society — not only physical and financial, but also intellectual. We need to choose its best model and adapt it to today's conditions, so that deterrence is effective and cooperation runs at peak efficiency.

Activating the civilian component is a precondition for raising the level of deterrence.

Building and developing the common defence system

The Polish Defensive Shooting Association was founded by people committed to improving the security of the country. Its main goal is to implement a National Common Defence System (KSOP) in Poland, drawing on the best solutions used in Finland, Sweden, Switzerland and Singapore, among others.

Common defence

Józef Marczak

“A necessary condition for creating common territorial defence is drawing on modern strategic science and on Polish experience — the levée en masse of historic Poland, the National Defence of 1937–39, the Home Army, Solidarity, and the Territorial Defence built in the years 1992–2005.”
