AssessmentModerate confidence

Figures carry their own uncertainty. Population, economic and military-spending data in wartime are estimates, often contested; every figure below shows its as-of date and a confidence grade, and leadership positions reflect the last review date and change without notice.

What this actor is

Poland hosts the US-led Forward Land Forces battlegroup at Orzysz / Bemowo Piskie; seats Multinational Corps Northeast (Szczecin) and Multinational Division Northeast (Elbląg). Poland is the largest land force on the flank and the seat of two multinational headquarters. Its own defence hosts did not serve a force-structure page to this pass, so Vigil publishes no Polish order of battle yet.

What this record does not yet carry

No posture block is authored at P1. Objectives, constraints and red lines are claims that need a defence strategy or an official statement behind each line, and the verification sprint did not establish that source base for individual allies — it established what states publish about their FORCE STRUCTURE, which is a different question. Posture is authored when the documents behind it have been read, not to make the actor set look uniform.

Not published for Poland and the eastern flankPosture (objectives, constraints, leverage)

Confidence: Moderate Authored at P1 from the verification sprint’s evidence set. What is here is sourced; what is not here is absent because no source was read for it, not because it was judged unimportant.
