Współdziałanie terenowych organów administracji wojskowej z organami administracji rządowej i samorządowej w sytuacjach kryzysowych : sprawozdanie z badań

The overriding task of the research was to define, examine and suggest procedures of effective cooperation between local military administration bodies and public administration in crisis situations. The solutions proposed in the article stress fields and range of cooperation and binding procedures in this area. The research has shown that in crisis situations the use of military units in rescue and prevention operations takes place when the use of other assets (so called non-military assets) is not possible or may appear insufficient. The area not covered in the theoretical and practical aspect seems to comprise the cooperation procedures, mainly obligatory provisions ordering appointing the representatives (chiefs) of local military administration (Military District, Provincial Military Staff, Military Draft Board) into the Crisis Management Teams. The lack of such provisions causes that the current contacts between military administration bodies and public administration bodies are scarce. Moreover, as both the experts and respondents participating in the research showed in their opinions, a serious failure in the organization of these bodies’ cooperation is the lack of common trainings, meetings, consultations, staff exercises and decision-making games relating to military units’ participation in crisis response. The lack of such activities has a great influence on the organization of cooperation during rescue and prevention operations; consequently lowering the effectiveness of military units’ operations.
