This paper presents the organization of language education in the Polish Armed Forces, which today focuses mostly on English instruction and is based on STANAG 6001. It highlights the importance of two key institutions, namely the Military Education Department and The Polish Armed Forces School of Languages. The final section deals with the military thematic units suggested in the language curriculum designed for soldiers and evaluates the presence of these themes in certification papers issued by the Central Examination Board for Foreign Languages of the Ministry of National Defence.
The goal of the study is to analyse the outcomes of a questionnaire survey which concerns understandability of military language used on former Afghanistan missions. Two groups of respondents took part in the survey – 50 soldiers with experience from a foreign mission, 50 soldiers without such experience. The data have indicated that when it comes to decoding randomly generated expressions, an important role is mainly played by the soldiers' other foreign missions, professional specialisations, length of service, and close contact with the participants of the Afghan missions.
