The overall reassessment of Poland's military position
brought fundamental change in the structure of the
military
establishment, beginning with the separation of the
military
branches from the civilian administration. Ultimate
command was
firmly assigned to civilian officials. Such a change from
the
simplicity of the Jaruzelski government, where the
military had
occupied top government positions, caused considerable
friction
and confusion in the early 1990s.
