Public administration and its definitions in the process of political system transformation i.e. Poland’s new administrative division since 1st January 1999. The new administration structure is divided into two administration sectors: governmental and local ones. Governmental administration consists of two levels (central and voyvodship’s); local administration includes voyvodship’s, poviat’s and commune’s levels. These administrations’ tasks division was defined in new bills and executive laws, however, the statement concerning defence tasks and co-operation with local military administration bodies seems rather brief. This publication presents basic public administration and companies’ tasks to conduct defence goals. Another issue discussed in the article is presenting the lines of co-operation between public administration and companies in conducting defence tasks. Further studies should tend to improve public administration structures and support financially defence tasks conducted both by companies and governmental and local administration as well.
