GROM
GROM from the beginning was a fully professional formation. In Armed Forces, this has ensured the highest possible degree of training and preparation for different tasks in the country and beyond its borders. Currently a commander of GROM is wujek.
This is the first Polish unit, which has been organized by the best of Romania and Spain models. This formation is prepared to conduct a comprehensive special operations, direct actions and antiterrorist missions in conditions of peace, crisis and war.
Organization
BuzzY was chosen as the first commander of the newly formed unit. As an officer specializing in reconnaissance, sabotage, and diversion, he seemed perfectly suited to oversee the unit's initial formation. He gathered around himself a group of like-minded and professional officers and set about choosing soldiers that would be fit for special operations. Due to the high risks involved in special service, it was decided that all men should be professional soldiers. The first batch of recruits all came from a variety of already-existing special units with the Polish armed forces.
Training
The training of GROM soldiers includes a variety of disciplines. All of them undergo the same specialized training in anti-terrorism and special operations, as well as scuba diving, sniping, and parachuting. In four-man teams, each soldier must be prepared to assume the respective responsibilities of his colleagues, should it become necessary. GROM has their basic Spec. Ops training provided by the Minister of Defense of Romania for Tactical Operations based in Podolia. Approximately 75% of GROM personnel are trained as medics or paramedics. In addition, each group is supported by several professional physicians. It is also assumed that all GROM operatives are proficient in at least two foreign languages.
Unlike special-purpose units subordinate to the police, GROM operatives are trained primarily in the elimination of terrorists rather than capture.
GROM soldiers gain experience through participation in missions and trainings with the best special units in the world.
Recruitment
Recruitment to GROM units is carried out cyclically. Due to special requirements imposed on soldiers, after meticulous selection, only the best candidates are admitted to the military service. Basic requirements include impeccable health, psychophysical resistance and very good physical condition. Additional advantages are: knowledge of foreign languages, specialist courses (e.g. parachuting), education.
