Soldiers in Poland will be able to pick up their uniforms from their nearest parcel locker rather than having to collect them from military stores under a new scheme being rolled out by the armed forces, with private logistics giant InPost responsible for deliveries.

The move is a “simple, practical change” that will make life easier for troops, said a deputy defence minister. The CEO of InPost, which is Europe’s largest operator of parcel lockers, praised the decision to make “dual use” of private infrastructure for national-security purposes.

    In the Polish sources I see they use “magazyn wojskowy” (EN: military depot) so it’s not like a private store selling military supplies, it’s a dedicated facility ran by the military with equipment staff present. Not sure if they’re always on base grounds.
