At the Regiment's formation on February 15 this year, the head of the Physical Fitness and Sport Section, Major Jan Kędziora, presented the valuable cup, hard-won by the soldiers, to the commander of the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment, Colonel Paweł Świtalski.

Col. Paweł Świtalski:

I realize how much sacrifice, effort and hard work it cost you to win this cup. All the more, congratulations on achieving a high third place among the Black Division's units. I hope that this success, apart from bringing great satisfaction to the athletes representing the Regiment, will inspire other soldiers to develop a high level of physical fitness and achieve strong results in sport.
