The Armed Forces Operational Command "General Bronisław Kwiatkowski" (Polish: Dowództwo Operacyjne Rodzajów Sił Zbrojnych im. generała Bronisława Kwiatkowskiego,DO RSZ) is one of the two main command bodies of the Polish Armed Forces. It is responsible for operational command of the forces. The other main command is the Armed Forces General Command, responsible for the readiness of the forces.
On January 1, 2014, pursuant to art. 13 of the Act amending the Act on the Office of the Minister of National Defence and certain other acts (Journal of Laws (2013) 852), the Operational Command of the Armed Forces (DOSZ) was transformed into the Operational Command of the Armed Forces Branches (from the Polish verb rozdwajać się - to split; to branch out into separate entities).
History
The Operational Command was originally established on October 22, 2003 by decision of the Minister of National Defence. The headquarters was made fully operational on June 30, 2005, and on July 1, took command of the forces involved in peace support and stabilization operations around the world. In accordance with the act of 24 May 2007 amending the act on the general obligation to defend the Republic of Poland and amending certain other acts, it was transformed into the Operational Command of the Armed Forces on July 4, 2007. Shortly thereafter, the Military Movement Coordination Center - Transport and Military Movement Command was transferred to the Inspectorate of Armed Forces Support.
By Decision No. 58/MON of April 10, 2019, the Operational Command of the Armed Forces received the name of General Bronisław Kwiatkowski.[1]
