Poland will increase its number of special forces in Iraq next month when it rotates its roughly 2,400-strong military contingent, Defence Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski said on Saturday.
"The number of soldiers in the Polish contingent of about 2,400 will not change but we will change the make-up of the units", stationed in Iraq, PAP news agency cited Szmajdzinski as saying.
Szmajdzinski said that "more elite soldiers and special units" were needed in Iraq. The number of such troops in the Polish contingent would therefore rise by about 10 percent to give it a bigger combat capacity.
