F-16, Rosomak, Krab, Leopard, Langusta were just some of the attractions that awaited all those who came on military picnics on Saturday, March 9, at 11.00, in 20 military units throughout the country organised under the slogan "20 years of Poland in NATO". It was part of the official celebrations organized on the occasion of Poland's accession to the structures of the North Atlantic Alliance in 1999.

We invite you to watch the movie specially prepared for this occasion, where you can see what the F-16 looks like, what the cockpit of the most modern aircraft in the Polish Air Force looks like during the flight, and how the training of soldiers of Land Forces and Navy looks like.

Everyone who visited the picnics was able to see the equipment that on daily basis use miners, gunners, air cavalry soldiers or special forces soldiers. In Wrocław, a military field hospital was deployed. The Military Police presented specialized equipment, a collision simulator and a driving simulator.

In Gdynia, the Navy made available for sightseeing, among others rocket propelled frigate ORP Gen. T. Kościuszko, corvette ORP Kaszub, rocket ship ORP Grom and ORP Kormoran. In addition to vessels, one was able to see military equipment, among others: Marine Missile Unit, 43rd EOD Battalion, Hydrographic Security Squadron, 9th Anti-aircraft Squadron, Gdynia Harbor Command Center.

In Poznań, in the Land Forces Training Center and in Elbląg, in the Multinational Division North-East, it was possible to learn, under the guidance of professionals, how to provide first aid. In many cities, one could also join blood donation on that day.

Picnics were also an opportunity to get acquainted with the offer of service in the Polish Armed Forces. Everyone interested in it had the chance to talk to specialists who had step by step explained the procedure of joining the army ranks. There were also soldiers of all types of Armed Forces who had answered questions about the service and cadets and representatives of military academies.

Together with us during the picnics were soldiers of allied forces, who, among others serve in commands located in Poland and are part of the NATO battalion battle group. In Skwierzyna, soldiers of the US Army presented individual soldiers equipment, medical evacuation vehicle and HUMVVE vehicles.
