## Resource

Poland’s launching its biggest civilian defense training program ever, “Readiness,” to prep everyday citizens for everything from cyberattacks to full-scale war. With hundreds of thousands expected to complete courses by 2026, the initiative teaches survival skills, crisis response, and community resilience—because modern conflict isn’t just about tanks and troops, but drones, AI, and psychological warfare. As Poland ramps up its military to 300,000 troops by 2039 and spends 5% of GDP on defense, this program aims to build a nation that can endure and adapt. While some worry it’s overburdening the military and suggest police should lead parts of it, the effort is seen as a vital, morale-boosting act of defiance—empowering civilians to become the backbone of national survival.
