Abstract
The aim of the article is to present expenditures incurred by Poland in connec¬tion with maintaining Polish Military Contingents (PMC) outside the country after 2002. The first part of the article features Poland's engagement in peace missions until 2001. The second one defines Poland's involvement to preserve peace in the world since 2002. The costs of keeping PMC outside the country were presented in a table and supplemented with commentary. These expenditures were compared with GDP and defence budget. The analysis shows that the highest costs are gene¬rated by big contingents such as Polish Military Contingent in Iraq, Chad and Afghanistan. For instance, the costs of maintaining the Polish Military Contingent in Iraq amounted to 1,046.19 million PLN. It appears that these are only costs that the Polish side incurred and they make about 40% of the whole costs as the rest was financed by the USA budget. The MoD spent on the currently operating contingent in Afghanistan approximately 785.2 million PLN from its 2009 budget, which makes 75.8% of all expenditures on missions in that year. It must be remembered that the costs resulting from PMC's participation in operations/missions outside the country would have been incurred anyhow, for example due to the necessity to organize and conduct exercises with forces within annual force training schedule. The PMC participation in this type of operations is also a factor infiuencing the modernization of the army and stimulating our domestic defence industry.
