Lets not forget the Aussies, too.

The poles sent some troops in 1991 (chem units, I believe). Their airborne regiment is top notch & their troops pulled some US chestnuts (engineers, I believe) out of the fire in Kososvo.

So stolat for the Rzeczpospolita also.

During WWII 1 in 8 RAF pilots were Polish, ever heard of Monte Cassino? Trust me, the Poles will fight.

Cimoszewicz confirmed that Poland will also contribute troops, though only to the extent polish limited resources allow. Which means those are probably going to be support units, not front line troops. One Polish logistics ship which hosts Navy commando unit is already in the Gulf for quite some time.
