More than once he called for the creation of light volunteer infantry at the regional level as an addition to the existing armed forces and the ex-head of the Defense Ministry Antoni Makherevich. In addition to fulfilling the usual tasks of protecting key infrastructure objects and providing additional security for military purposes, the "territorial defense troops" will prevent the penetration of disinformation, reflect cyber attacks, support patriotic ideals, regulate situations in times of crisis or martial law, notes National Interest. They still have about 7,000 members, but by 2019. , according to plan, they will include 50 thousand. This caused discontent of the Polish military. Makherevich was criticized for preferring the "Territorial Defense Troops", rather than the regular army.
