Histoire

Le Military Cross a été instauré par le Parlement polonais en juin 2007. Il a été créé comme l'équivalent moderne de la célèbre Cross of Valour. Alors que la Cross of Valour était destinée aux grandes guerres, cette médaille a été conçue pour les actions de combat en temps de paix et les déploiements à l'étranger. Lors de missions avec l'OTAN et les Nations unies, les soldats polonais se sont souvent retrouvés sous le feu direct de l'ennemi. Cette décoration a donné aux commandants militaires un moyen de récompenser la bravoure audacieuse sur le front lors de tâches de contre-insurrection et de sauvetage. La médaille est faite de bronze avec l'aigle polonais au centre et l'année 2007 en chiffres romains. Elle peut être obtenue plusieurs fois par le même soldat pour différents actes de bravoure.
