Polish Land Forces
The Land Forces (Polish: Wojska Lądowe) are a military branch of the Armed Forces of Republic of Poland. They currently contain some 65,000 active personnel and form many components of European Union and NATO deployments around the world. Poland's recorded military history stretches back for hundreds of years – since the 10th century (see List of Polish wars and History of the Polish Army), but Poland's modern army was formed after 1918.
