2 Dear Guests, Anaconda 10 is the biggest military exercise of joint Polish Armed Forces. In the exercise participate soldiers from: Polish Land Forces, Polish Air Forces, Polish Navy, Special Forces, Inspectorate for Armed Forces Support, Military Police, Inspectorate for Medical Corps and forces of Ministry of Interior and Administration. As an Operational Commander, I am responsible for planning, preparing and conducting one of the biggest joint operation since several years. Not only will Anaconda 10 verify soldiers abilities and skills with regard to joint actions under single command, but also test the equipment of Polish Armed Forces. The equipment is the result of positive changes in the Polish Armed Forces and the process of its adaptation to the modern battlefield requirements. The practical part of the Anaconda 10 exercise will present you the effectiveness of decisions made by Operational Command. While observing the soldiers, I would like to draw your attention to the unity of actions of soldiers from all military components. The exercise will require enormous effort, determination and abilities to perform tasks in the same time and place. Realization of orders and tasks by subunits will enable us to evaluate their level of training and preparation to complex operations during a local conflict. This year s exercise closes 6-years cycle of combat systems synchronization. That is why its most significant aim is to test and perfect the command system in order to keep Polish Armed Forces ready to protect our country against potential conflicts. We certainly wish such conflict would never occur, nevertheless, the role of a soldier is to be permanently prepared for possible scenario which may appear, even the most horrific one. I am pleased to invite you to read this brochure which will introduce you to the details of the exercise and help to have a wider perspective on its course. Lieutenant General Edward Gruszka

5 Genesis of the conflict MILITARY POLICE - Military Police Battalion Operational Group; - Military Police Manoeuvre Platoon. The exercise s conflict has economic and political background caused by monopolistic practices of Baria - the main exporter of oil and gas to Western countries of Euroland. During the first decade of XXI c. the political leaders of Baria and Monda were replaced by the new government that began the expansion to make countries of Euroland dependant on their sources of energy. Additionally, Monda put forward the territorial claims against Wislandia. INSPECTORATE FOR MEDICAL CORPS Epidemiological Reaction Centre - Epidemiological Reaction Team; - Health Treatment Team; - Medical Evacuation Team. UNITS OF PUBLIC AND LOCAL ADMINISTRATION Operational Groups of: - Interior affairs of Ministry of Interior Affairs and Administration; - National Police Headquarters; - Fire Brigade Service Headquarters; - Polish Boarder Guard Headquarters; - Warmińsko-mazurskie voivodeship; - Podlaskie voivodeship; - Lubelskie voivodeship; - Mazowieckie voivodeship. In this situation, Wislandia commenced the program aimed at diversification of oil and gas sources that inflamed the conflict with Baria. Finally, Baltic Sea Pact attempted to achieve the political aims with military measures, making use of Monda forces. The armed conflict is local, with medium intensification of fights. However, it can not be excluded that the conflict will engulf other countries.
