The government in Warsaw decided to dispatch a regular force as the Polish Military
Contingent in March 2003. At that time, Poland did not voice any reservations, nor
did it lay down any conditions relevant to issues such as national interests (e.g., economic
ones, etc.) when it agreed to the proposals of the US and Great Britain to send a
reinforced military component to Iraq. Under UNSC Resolutions 1441 and 1483, the
US and Great Britain were recognized as the interim authorities in Iraq in the new
political and military situation that followed Iraq’s defeat. In such circumstances,
Poland agreed to participate in a military scope in the ‘peacekeeping and stabilization
mission’ and to take over the central-south zone in Iraq and take command of
the Multinational Division Central-South – MND C-S). At that point, the process of
collecting data on the specifics of the future mission, its analysis and an assessment
of the situation began. At the same time, the process of selecting and preparing military
units for these operations was initiated.
