ANACONDA-14
LIVE EXERCISE
1
ANACONDA-14 is the largest joint and combined serial exercise of the
Polish Armed Forces.
Almost 12500 personnel including 750 soldiers from Allied countries
(Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Great Britain, Hungary, Lithuania,
the Netherlands and the United States) will participate in a live-fire
exercise at Poland’s Land, Air and Maritime Military Training Areas,
between 24th September and 3rd October.
This exercise is the most challenging event of 2014. Its purpose is to
synchronize planning and conducting combined defense operations
of the units subordinated to the Armed Forces Operational Commander,
as well as create, in cooperation with the national non-military system,
favourable conditions for the Allied forces.
During recent eight years ANACONDA exercise has evolved. Originally a
purely military event became an exercise which included non-military
structures of Poland’s defense system at the national and regional dimensions, to finally reach the level of an Allied exercise actively involving
NATO nations.
In the wake of these changes, ANACONDA series exercises have become
regular events of the North Atlantic Alliance training process. In the light
of the unfavorable changes in regional and global international security
environments, such exercises are considered to be of particular importance. This is confirmed by the participation of national contingents
from eight NATO countries which will take part in this event.
From the very beginning, that is since 2006, ANACONDA exercise series
has been developed and conducted by the Armed Forces Operational
Command.

EXERCISE SCENARIO
The scenario assumes the existence of Euroland’s two leading
political and military blocks, namely the Group of Eastern Euroland
Countries States (GEEC) consiting of MONDA, FUNLAND AND BARIA,
the latter being the lead country, and the Organisation of the Blue
Sea Alliance (OBSA) which includes WISLANDIA.
The underlying cause of the conflict is BARIA’s considerable
economic loss resulting from the implementation of energy
diversification projects across Euroland countries, including
WISLANDIA.
BARIA does not rule out the use of military power against the countries where the safety of the BARIA’s national minority or the minorities of her allies is threatened. In the international forum, BARIA’s
authorities repeatedly accused WISLANDIA of running the policy
which destabilizes the region.
It is estimated that MONDA’s government, supported by BARIA
made a decision to seek military solution to take control of shale
gas deposits discovered in the north - eastern region of WISLANDIA.
It is also estimated that after winning international consent
to the annexation of the disputed territory, MONDA will attack
LIMBA which is another addressee of territorial claims.
In 2012, in response to WISLANDIA’s start of exploitation of shale gas
deposits, as well as gas imports from other geographic directions,
BARIA launched broad diplomatic and information campaign with
the aim to obstruct WISLANDIA’s efforts. WISLANDIA was accused
of expropriation of MONDA minority population to facilitate the
exploitation of shale gas beds in the north - eastern part of the
country.

ARMED FORCES OPERATIONAL COMMAND
History and tasks
Armed Forces Operational Command (DO RSZ)
formally stood up on 1 January 2014, and inherited the tradition and history of the Operational
Command of Armed Forces (DOSZ) set up by
the decision of te Minister of National Defence
on 22 October 2003.
Armed Forces Operational Command is the main commanding body
responsible for operational command of the Armed Forces transferred under its authority on the basis of a decision of the Minister
of National Defence.
The Command is responsible for planning and commanding forces
and assigned non-military elements during joint, peacekeeping,
rescue and humanitarian operations, as well as during anti-terrorist
or attack/disaster relief operations. It is also responsible for planning
and commanding forces assigned for supporting the state and local
administration elements in times of non-military crisis.
Armed Forces Operational Command plans, organizes and conducts
exercises as well as carries out evaluation of capability of forces and
assets declared for operations.
Armed Forces Operational Command exerts national control over
Polish Military Contingents and units assigned to carry out tasks
overseas within international structures and multinational forces.
Moreover, the Command functions as Crisis Management Centre
of the National Defence System.
At peacetime, Operational Command, through Air and Maritime
Operations Centres, commands the assets assigned for combat stand
by to protect the air space of the Republic of Poland, as well as to
support Border Guards Maritime Unit in protection of the maritime
area.
During military crisis and war Operational Command is responsible
for establishing the Command Post of the Chief Commander of the
Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland.
As the result of changes in the command system of the Polish Armed
Forces the following commands were introduced and subordinated
to the Armed Forces Operational Command: Land Operations Center
- Land Component Command, Air Operations Center - Air Component Command, Maritime Operations Centre - Maritime Component
Command, and Special Operations Center - Special Forces Component Command. This reform allowed for harmonisation of military
structures in the time of peace, crisis and during war.
