Those present at the airport included: Major General Jarosław Mika, commander of the 11th Lubusz Armored Cavalry Division, and Colonel Maciej Jabłoński, commander of the 10th Armored Cavalry Brigade.
After completing the formalities required before departure, efficiently handled by the staff of Wrocław–Starachowice Airport, a brief formation was held, during which the commanders wished the soldiers success and the proverbial “soldier’s luck.” Colonel Maciej Jabłoński, commander of the 10th Armored Cavalry Brigade, issued the final order before departure: “All of you, come back safe and sound.”
Immediately after the formation, the departing soldiers were transported to the airport apron, and before boarding the aircraft, both the division commander and the brigade commander shook hands with each future mission member.
The core of the second rotation of the Polish Military Contingent Afghanistan RSM consists of soldiers from the 10th Armored Cavalry Brigade. Together with colleagues from other units, they will form the command of the Polish Military Contingent RSM and serve on the mission as advisers, a protection platoon, the National Support Element, and a Military Police Section. The commander of the second rotation of the Polish Military Contingent Afghanistan RSM is Colonel Adam Luzyńczyk from the training division of the 11th Lubusz Armored Cavalry Division in Żagań.
