Global terrorism is influential in governments’ undertaking allied armed actions against hostilities in foreign territories. However, this can’t be an excuse for task subtraction from domestic protection. Th e leaders can’t just move the danger abroad, since the best solution for national security rests in adding support structures within the spectrum of national defense institutions. In Poland meanwhile, a slow degradation of national defense institutions and military elements is observed. Th e Ministry of Defense performing foreign missions abroad is not fully involved in protection of the Polish territory. Geopolitical situation of Poland throughout its history exemplifies that the lack of reckoning in defense may cause strategic problems affecting its security. Therefore, the state’s policy should be properly adjusted, as claims the author. Th e remedy rests in the appropriate strategies for National Security, National Defense and National Military. Th is planning should take into account examples of those democratic countries that created an efficient plan for their security. Th e Polish armed forces can be restructured in a similar fashion allowing it to act in unison on different levels of security protection – domestic, foreign, as well as in cases of natural disasters and emergencies.
