Abstract
Establishing the National Reserve Forces (NRF) directly resulted from the decision of the Polish Armed Forces' professionalization. However, it should he honestly stated that it did not reserve an exclusive credit and consequence of the idea of NRF setting up. In fact, it was the response to the suggested since the 90s proposals show¬ing that the introduction of reserve soldiers' voluntary military service was not only the adaptation to NATO standards in this respect but, most of all, a consequence of several social and economic processes taking place in Poland after 1989. Poland's accession to NATO structures caused the necessity to adjust numerous areas of the Polish Armed Forces' functioning to standards biding in NATO. Poland was also obliged to participate in the work of most committees, institutions and other organizations officially accredited at NATO. In the area of personnel reserves' problems, this kind of organization affiliated to NATO Military Committee is National Reserve Forces Committee (NRFC) NATO. Experiences gained from NRFC work and other international contacts regarding voluntary reserve service caused that these problems were discussed and under consideration both at the Ministry of National Defence and other environ¬ments interested in issues connected with the defence of the state. A breakthrough in the professionalization process and establishing the National Reserve Forces was Prime Minister Donald Tusk's declaration during his expose in November 2007 when referring to the defence he stated that "a complete professionalization of the Polish Armed Forces is necessary though the reduction of people called up to the conscription service in 2008, thus at the beginning of 2010 the service in the Polish Armed Forces will be performed exclusively by volunteers. " It must be stressed that the main directions informing the NRF were defined in the "Professionalization Programme of the Polish Armed Forces for 2008-2010" which was adopted by the Council of Ministers on 5''' August 2008. According to the Programme the reserve forces were due to take place on voluntary formula basing on crisis assignments as a result of contracts signed. The Polish Armed Forces' manpower was established on 120 thousand (NRF including). Later it was decided that the NRF would number 20 thousand reserve soldiers.
