To identify assumptions of the legal norms, in the context of the impact of the involvement of people with disabilities for the implementation of the tasks and objectives of the Polish Armed Forces on the examples from the United States, Canada, and Israel. Methods: Systematic review of the literature and websites on the possible inclusion of persons with disabilities in the Armed Forces. Results: The analysis determined the significance of the legal norm Article 134.3 of the Act on the impact of the involvement of persons with disabilities for the implementation of tasks by the Polish Armed Forces. Conclusions: In previous regulations related to military service, people with disabilities were not able to be on duty neither actively function within the national security system, remaining, outside the system. One of the revolutionary changes connected with implementation of the Article 134.3 of the Homeland Defence Act is the admission of people with disabilities to the military service. The article contains suggestions for the Polish Armed Forces on how to involve persons with disabilities in the effective implementation of their goals and tasks. The highly qualified, competent, and knowledgeable personnel will be engaged, e.g. in the IT area especially since a new component has been created within the Polish Armed Forces: Cyberspace Defence Forces (DK-WOC). An effective increase in the level of awareness, competence, and knowledge in the field of military service by persons with disabilities may be of key importance for shaping the state security system and provide support to the Polish Armed Forces.

Objectives: This paper attempts to forecast the future of warfare methods in the forthcoming decades of the 21st century. The predictions reflect on the current trends observed in the development of military and civil (dual-use) technologies and changes in thought constructs developed for hostilities. Methods: Empirical and theoretical research methods were utilised in the study. The research data, obtained from the review of source materials, were subsequently subjected to examination through analysis, synthesis and comparison. Results: The methods of warfare at the turn of the 21st century are likely to reflect the technological evolution of the modern age. Considering the present-day trends, there is a good probability that our technology-driven lives will transform people into hybrids of biological organisms merged with the technological environment, integrated with the body. Therefore, hostile action against human soldiers could be taken on three major levels: the biological organism, the mass communication technology integrated into the body, and the mental level – both in the conscious and the subconscious sphere. The study into how the soldier’s mental sphere can be influenced to anticipate and shape behaviours may contribute to further research on the third level impact on enemy soldiers. Conclusions: The conclusions formulated in this analysis may carry significant implications for the works on an innovative methodology of the future warfare, accounting for the technological progress in the next decades of the 21st century, and a methodology for countering future military threats.

W artykule poruszono jedną z najistotniejszych kategorii ryzyka – ryzyko kulturowe - które dotyczy systemów społecznych. Takim systemem jest również system logistyczny. Podkreślono, że zarówno ze strony kierownictwa, jak i pracowników danej firmy, zadania oraz sposób ich rozdzielenia i wykonania zależą w dużej mierze od kultury z jakiej pochodzą poszczególne osoby powiązane zależnościami w danej organizacji. Struktura oraz globalny zasięg współczesnych łańcuchów dostaw stawia czynniki międzykulturowe na jednym z najwyższych miejsc jeśli chodzi o potencjalne źródła zakłóceń ich funkcjonowania, a tym samym zmniejszenia ich efektywności.

In article authors touched one of the most important risk category – cultural risk – which is an integral part of each social system. Such kind of the system is also logistic system. It was emphasized, that from the management and employees point of view assigned tasks, the way of its distribution and executing strongly depend on culture which originate respective people linked by relationship within particular organization. Structure and global range of contemporary supply chains constitute intercultural factors one of the most significant in terms of potential source of disruption, hence decreasing efficiency of particular organization.

The article presents an analysis of a few selected PSYOP products. However, for this work I checked all the products available during the Vietnam War, the National Catalogue of PSYOP Materials Joint U.S. Public Affairs Office, BACM Research. I have also analyzed the source texts as well as the opinions of professionals involved in psychological operations conducted during the Vietnam War. I estimated the impact of these products on the subconscious and conscious levels. In this way I could evaluate the effectiveness of these products and their adaptation to the cultural values of the Vietnamese. This allowed me to analyze the effectiveness of a methodology for creating these products. In my opinion, U.S. PSYOP product development and methodology were imperfect, and the cost of the war in Vietnam would be much lower if this methodology could have been adapted to cultural values of Vietnamese.
