The paper is the continuation of the publication entitled “The Development of Civil and Military Cooperation. Part 1” (Obronność, Zeszyty Naukowe no.2 (18)/2016). In both articles, the author attempts to answer the question of what factors, and to what extent, affected the development of Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland. The first part analyses the origin of, and the reasons for establishing, CIMIC, and the process of its institutionalization in the Polish and NATO Armed Forces, as well as the influence of the international humanitarian law of armed conflict on creating CIMIC and on its evolution. In the second part, the author describes the manner in which the expe-rience gathered in the previous conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in Iraq, influenced the development of CIMIC. Moreover, the paper also analyses what the link is between the professionalization of the Polish Armed Forces and the development of civil and military cooperation.
