The aim of the article is to determine the strategic conditions of use of the armed forces of West Germany (the Bundeswehr) since its inception in 1955 until its unification with the National People’s Army (1989/1990). In the first part the features of the security environment in Germany have been shown and the main political, military and economic threats identified. As the result of the presented strategic analysis of the state environment as well as the parallel description of the set of values, interests and political goals in the security field, the conceptions of using the Bundeswehr as the army of the national state and a member of the NATO have been characterized.

After 2011, Polish-German military cooperation has gained a new momentum. It is carried out on both bilateral and multilateral basis within NATO, EU and the Weimar Triangle framework. The scope of the cooperation covers principally the sphere of defense, but excludes the creation of security processes on a global scale. The question of the activities of the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union in the field of providing safety and security is also present in the cooperation. This applies especially to the functioning of NATO as a defense alliance and the EU as an institution responsible for emergency response management. Strictly military sphere of cooperation, however, consists mainly in the exchange of information related to the functioning of the Polish Armed Forces and the Bundeswehr, as well as in the exchange of experience related to the organization of the national defense system.

Polsko-niemiecka współpraca wojskowa nabrała nowej dynamiki po 2011 r. Jest prowadzona zarówno w układzie bilateralnym, jak i multilateralnym w ramach NATO, UE i Trójkąta Weimarskiego. Jej zakres skoncentrowany został w sferze obronności, a nie kreowania procesów bezpieczeństwa w wymiarze globalnym. Obecna jest w niej także kwestia aktywności Sojuszu Północnoatlantyckiego i Unii Europejskiej w obszarze zapewniania bezpieczeństwa. Odnosi się to zwłaszcza do funkcjonowania NATO jako sojuszu obronnego i UE jako instytucji podejmującej działania w zakresie reagowania kryzysowego. Natomiast na sferę kooperacji stricte wojskowej składa się głównie wymiana informacji na temat funkcjonowania Sił  Zbrojnych RP i Bundeswehry oraz wymiana doświadczeń związanych z organizacją systemu obronnego państwa.

The article is devoted to the development of Multinational Corps Northeast (MNC NE) in the second decade of its existence. The Corps, which is based in Szczecin, has been operating since 1999 as a part of NATO’s military structures. The Corps was created by three founding countries: Denmark, Germany and Poland. In accordance with the Convention of September 5th, 1998, the aim of the corps is to plan and carry out activities for the benefit of collective defense purposes under article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, as well as to participate in multinational missions and military operations. Between 2004 and 2015, the Corps was joined by other countries as “participating members”: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia (2004), Slovakia and the Czech Republic (2005), United States of America (2006), Romania (2008), Slovenia (2009), Croatia (2012), Hungary (2013), Sweden (2014), and the UK (2015). In the second half of 2015 the corps was extended with the representatives of the Armed Forces from Turkey, France, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Finland. The Corps headquarters in Szczecin is organized according to NATO standards. It includes the Command Group (rotationally manned by personnel from Demark, Germany and Poland) and nine functional divisions. Military units that function under the authority of the Corps (70–100 thousand soldiers) are deployed in their bases in the founding states. Up until now, the soldiers from the Corps has participated in 3 ISAF missions in Afghanistan. Decisions to strengthen signifi cantly the force of the Corps were made on 4–5 September 2014 during the NATO Summit in Newport. During the summit, the founding states also decided to raise the level of combat readiness of the Corps. Since then, the Corps has been undergoing another transformation, the most important one since its inception. In NATO, it is assumed that at the end of 2016 the Corps will reach its full readiness to command various military formations of the Alliance, including: Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF), NATO Response Force (NRF), and also NATO Force Integration Units (NFIUs) from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland. This implies the need for further infrastructure development of the Corps and the increase of the scope of its responsibilities in the field of allied defense. This task was regarded as a priority before the next NATO Summit scheduled for 8–9 July 2016 in Warsaw.
