Things agreed upon in this case:
- Cooperation at brigade level: mutual subordination of battalion-level units
- Liaisons and officer exchanges between the highest-level command staffs of the Polish and German Army (beginning 2016)
- Joint training and exercises, in particular German units taking part in exercises on Polish territory (beginning 2015)
- Joint training of cadets and exchanges between officer academies
The scope of this is roughly on par with the engagement Germany has with Austria, i.e. a lot lower than envisioned by some and also a lot lower than with the Netherlands. The reason for this mismatch can probably be found with the Ukrainian situation.
Interestingly this one is a lot less public (in Germany), with the MoD not publishing the original letter-of-intent, and the January plan only mentioned by the German embassy in Poland.
