Prior to that, he served in the Polish Military Contingent in Iraq, among others, and was also the commander of the Military Commandos Unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General Klisz has been deputy commander of the WOT since 2020, having previously served as the formation&#8217;s chief of staff. He also worked in the Special Forces Command and was chief of staff of the Military Unit of Commandos. He took part in missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as Afghanistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National Defence Mariusz B\u0142aszczak, who took part in the ceremony, said: &#8220;The Territorial Defence Forces are always ready, they are always close by. I am convinced that this will be the case under the command of General Maciej Klisz. The experience you gained while serving in the Polish Army, being also a graduate of an American university, will allow you to continue to successfully develop this project&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adrian Andrzejewski<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President of Poland, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Andrzej Duda appointed Lieutenant General Wies\u0142aw Kuku\u0142a as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and Brigadier General Maciej Klisz as Commander of the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":40243,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.4 -
