Law (general)
"W rozumieniu polskich postanowień konstytucyjnych ciężary i świadczenia na rzecz obrony państwa, są to świadczenia ponoszone przez podmioty niepowiązane w sposób organizacyjnoprawny z aparatem państwowym, w związku z wypełnianiem zadań publicznych przez państwo. Należy jednakże rozróżnić pojęcie „świadczenia publicznego” od pojęcia „ciężaru publicznego”. Otóż te pierwsze mają zazwyczaj charakter pieniężny (podatki, inne daniny publiczne, opłaty cła), natomiast te drugie ponoszone są w naturze, a więc posiadają charakter osobisty lub rzeczowy, i do nich właśnie zalicza się będący przedmiotem naszej analizy, obowiązek przekazywania środków transportowych."

levies and burdens
There are nuances in translating świadczenia. Many Polish authors use "benefits," which I do not understand.
For example:
ŚWIADCZENIA NA RZECZ PODNOSZENIA POTENCJAŁU OBRONNEGO PAŃSTWA
The Constitution of the Republic of Poland imposes a number of public burdens on the citizens. One of them is the benefits that citizens can bear for the defense of the state?????. There is no obligation to provide benefits if they are not imposed in the manner specified by the relevant legislation. In this sense, they are optional, not obligatory. It is only obligatory when the burden is imposed on citizens. The organizational unit that has its complementary needs has its resources. Benefits that may be used under the general duty of defense will be personal, material and special. They can be applied to perform tasks in this state as well as in time of peace for mobilization and war, and if mobilization is announced and during the war.
