These large military exercises, which took place in Volhynia, remained in the shadow of the incorporation of Zaolzie in October 1939. The Zaolzie operation involved the 21st Mountain Infantry Division and the 10th Cavalry Brigade (motorized), as well as some artillery units (e.g. a squadron from the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment), sappers and armored forces, which were transferred directly from Volhynia to Cieszyn Silesia.
