A new monograph titled "The Security of Military Supply Chains" has emerged in the publishing market, released in 2024 by the Academy of War Studies Publishing House (ISBN 978-83-8263-503-4). This publication spans 326 pages and represents a significant contribution to Polish scientific literature, as the subject matter has not been analysed in such a comprehensive manner until now. The Author of the book is Dariusz Grala, a Colonel in the Polish Army, a Doctor of Engineering, and the current Dean of the Faculty of Management and Command at the Academy of War Studies. The monograph introduces the reader to an extensive, erudite discourse at the intersection of political science research, security studies, and management and quality. The Author meticulously and logically discusses areas related to the security of military supply chains, which have previously been underexplored in the literature. The term "security" is understood here in various contexts, encompassing both states and processes that influence military supply chains. The Author highlights their role as a set of cooperating structures aimed at delivering goods essential for the execution of military training operations, operational activities, and combat missions. The literature often encounters the term "defence sector supply chains"; however, in the military context, the perspective on the functioning of these supply chains has a broader and often sensitive significance. This "sensitive" nature of the security of military supply chains —understood from the intentions expressed in the Introduction — has become the subject of the Author's research, which integrates theories and practices from military logistics and supply chain management. The considerations focus on the processes occurring within these chains under various conditions. This approach is particularly important in the realm of security and defence, as civil supply chain publications often overlook, assuming it to be self-evident, the specific security considerations related to military needs. This publication, in a sense, bridges these two worlds.

The main goal of the research is to identify the key problems related to information security in the armed forces and to classify the most important factors and aspects necessary to increase security. The implemented research methods include a critical analysis of legal acts, organizational and competence documents, literature on the subject. Synthesis and inference were employed to achieve the formulated goals. The main findings indicate that the armed forces' information security system will play an increasingly important role in shaping the security of modern states and should be treated as a priority. The results of the analyzes indicate that in the coming years, the main challenge of modern armies will be to strengthen the offensive and defensive information capabilities of the state. The general findings of this article present the view that information security is a key task for the armed forces to ensure national security. Therefore, it is necessary to revise, clarify and tighten up the procedures in force for the protection of key information processed in the state -especially in the armed forces – which should have adequate capabilities to conduct complex operations in cyberspace. Moreover, the need for a thorough and comprehensive analysis of this topic is confirmed.

The intensification of the air threat resulting from the emergence of hypersonic weapons in the immediate vicinity of Poland has become a significant challenge for the Polish armed forces, including anti-aircraft defense. The capabilities of the new type of weapon determine not only the need to modernize and acquire systems designed to engage aerial targets, but also the command and control systems that control them. Due to the nature and the limited scope of the article, the deliberations presented in it are generalized results of a research on the scale of the threat posed by hypersonic weapons in the airspace and the need to modernize anti-aircraft defense command and control subsystems, which may be involved in combating them as part of the national air defense system. The presented conclusions also concern the problems of multiplying the current level of automation of the command and control subsystem. This is related to the need for the effectiveness of the military decision-making process as well as uninterrupted and efficient cooperation with the national and allied elements of the air reconnaissance and air defense assets subsystems, including the components of missile defense, which is predestined to engage hypersonic weapons.

The development of transatlantic relations in the sphere of international security in the period 1960-2006 is presented. At the same time an analysis of current US - European cooperation and possible development is presented. Bearing in mind the endeavors of NATO and the EU to create new capabilities in crisis management activities in regions located at a distance from Europe, not only the question of cooperation is of importance but also other issues. It is possible to enumerate questions on how to shape international security, but also what means and players are necessary? Those trivial but fundamental questions are directly connected with weaker positions as the result of the changing attitude by the United States and creation of the “coalitions of the willing”. The same applies to the European Union, weakened as the result of the fiasco connected with the adoption of the constitutional treaty. Moreover it hasn't been decided as to what extent international operations should be conducted - should they be full scale or only stabilization operations.

The article characterises the evolution of the concepts of personal and structural security in the context of the tasks of the armed forces. It presents concepts of security in the context of the objectives of state and state power throughout history. These concepts have been undoubtedly formulated in a differentiated manner depending on the political and constitutional system formation dominating in a given historical period. The deliberations also highlighted the expectations of societies towards armed forces. Interestingly, not so much lethal armed struggle and mass killing, but limited armed action and low-intensity struggles, conducted in niches and causing little or no loss of life.

W artykule dokonano charakterystyki ewolucji pojęć bezpieczeństwa personalnego i strukturalnego w kontekście zadań sił zbrojnych. Przedstawiono koncepcje bezpieczeństwa w kontekście celów państwa i władzy państwowej na przestrzeni dziejów. Koncepcje te były niewątpliwie formułowane w sposób zróżnicowany w zależności od formacji polityczno-ustrojowej dominującej w danym okresie historycznym. W rozważaniach zwrócono również uwagę na oczekiwania społeczeństw wobec sił zbrojnych. Co ciekawe, nie tyle śmiercionośnych walk zbrojnych i masowego zabijania, co ograniczonych działań zbrojnych i zmagań o małej intensywności, prowadzonych w niszach i powodujących nikłe lub żadne straty śmiertelne.

The article focuses on the effectiveness of global governance structures in the field of security against the background of increasing confrontation between powerful geopolitical players, tensions between rich and poor countries and the struggle for resources and markets. The aim of the article is to define the role and outline the prospects of global security governance, in particular based on the example of relevant UN instruments. The UN Security Council is seen as a peacekeeping instrument. Its status and powers are outlined. UN peacekeeping operations are argued for as a systemic phenomenon. Problems that negatively affect the efficiency, effectiveness and success of its peacekeeping operations and trends in the further development of UN peacekeeping activities have been identified. The latter are called upon to be ready to promptly address the task of neutralizing threats and avoiding military conflicts. It is argued that the security system needs to be reorganized and improved through the expansion of the UN peacekeeping force and the creation of new joint military formations on a permanent basis.

Artykuł koncentruje się na efektywności globalnych struktur zarządzania w obszarze bezpieczeństwa na tle narastającej konfrontacji między potężnymi graczami geopolitycznymi, napięć między krajami bogatymi i biednymi oraz walki o zasoby i rynki. Celem artykułu jest określenie roli i zarysowanie perspektyw globalnego zarządzania bezpieczeństwem, w szczególności na przykładzie odpowiednich instrumentów ONZ. Rada Bezpieczeństwa ONZ jest postrzegana jako instrument utrzymywania pokoju. Nakreślono jej status i uprawnienia. Operacje pokojowe ONZ są uważane za zjawisko systemowe. Zidentyfikowano problemy, które negatywnie wpływają na skuteczność i powodzenie operacji pokojowych oraz tendencje w dalszym rozwoju działań pokojowych sił ONZ. Te ostatnie powinny być gotowe do szybkiego podjęcia zadania neutralizacji zagrożeń i unikania konfliktów zbrojnych. Twierdzi się, że system bezpieczeństwa wymaga reorganizacji i usprawnienia poprzez rozbudowę sił pokojowych ONZ oraz tworzenie nowych wspólnych formacji wojskowych na stałe.
