Polish Special Operations Forces (POLSOF) are one of five branches in the Polish Armed Forces. Thanks to their unique capabilities, selected personnel, and sophisticated equipment, they play a crucial role in the Polish national security system. However, the changes in security environment mean that the services responsible for national security (i.e. the Police, Border Guard) might not be capable of coping with potential threats efficiently on their own. If this happens, POLSOF can be used to restore national security in close cooperation with other actors responsible for this area. In this paper, the author analyses legal aspects, capabilities, and possibilities of how POLSOF can be employed to deal with threats posed by terrorists in an efficient manner, and what requirements must be satisfied in order to accomplish it.
