- Over 18,000 registered for the training. 16,000 people were trained. We are very pleased that women and men alike eagerly took advantage of this invitation to universal voluntary defense training - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference, summarizing the pilot program "wGotowości" (On Alert).

As the head of the Ministry of National Defense stated: - The largest age group consisted of individuals between 36 and 45 years old. The oldest participants [...], among women: an 80-year-old woman participated. Among men: a 91-year-old in the cyber hygiene course. Let us recall that we have four courses: a basic course, a survival course, a cyber hygiene course, and a pre-medical first aid course.

- A very good response, with approximately 80% attendance. This is significant considering the time it took place, when many infectious diseases are prevalent, and the weather this year, in both November and December, was not favorable, demonstrating a specific, far-reaching determination from those who decided to participate in the training - he continued.

- I would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated. This is an expression of patriotism, responsibility for oneself, for one's family, for one's neighbors. To put it grandly, but truthfully: for Poland, for all of us, for the entire society - he emphasized.

- These exercises, this pilot program, are concluding with a very good outcome in terms of interest, especially in territorial defense. Approximately 23-25% of individuals indicated that they would like to continue their engagement and see themselves most fitting within territorial defense - he added.
