In particular, the command of the division will be located in Ciechanów in the Masovian Voivodeship. The division will be equipped with modern machinery, primarily K9 howitzers and K2 tanks purchased in South Korea, as well as American Abrams tanks.

The creation of the new division is part of the plan to strengthen the Polish army, in particular by increasing the number of soldiers. It is expected that the number of the Polish Army will increase from 164,000 to 300,000 soldiers.
