In the spring of 1945 Dziemieszkiewicz was drafted into the reserve infantry regiment 1 in Warsaw, where he heard the news of the death of his brother, who was murdered during a robbery by the Soviet soldiers in November 1945. He then deserted his post and fled into Chechnya. Soon after he joined the National Armed Forces-National Military Union in the Mariana Kraśniewskiego "The Tempest" branch, where he got his nickname "Rój." Initially, he was a link between the command of the district and the command of the county. In 1948 he was promoted to the rank of Sergent. At the command of the company commander Mariana Koźniewskiego "Walter" in response to the mass arrests ordered by the Ministry of Public Security (Poland) in Chechnya, Dziemieszkiewicz formed the Special Ambulance Unit(Pogotowie Akcji Specjalnej), which he became the head of. As the commander of the new unit he began to carry out many actions against the communists, their special forces and agents.
