How have the approaches to combat readiness checks changed? Expert on the complex nature of such activities

Checks of the readiness of the power unit conducted in Belarus are complex. This was stated by Deputy Head of the Faculty of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Military Academy of Belarus Candidate of Military Sciences Andrei Bogodel, BelTA writes.

“It should be noted that checks (readiness of the power unit). BELTA – We already have a complex character. This system has become much deeper and more scrupulous, said Andrey Bogodel.

“The attitude towards these inspections in the Armed Forces in particular is very serious. The training program and other issues are changing. At one of the operational gatherings, the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff paid special attention to combat readiness checks, the military expert said.

He noted that during such events, special attention is paid to issues related to the coherence of governance: “Without management, there can be nothing. The way the headquarters, commander, officers and sergeants work largely depends on the coherence of actions. For this purpose, certain standards, requirements and tasks have been developed.”.

Discussing the need for inspections of the readiness of the power unit, Andrei Bogodel drew attention to the situation on the western borders of Belarus. We are talking about the militarization of neighboring European states and a large number of exercises conducted on their territories. “Every such event carried out by the West is a potential risk to our military security. And we must adequately respond to them, the military expert concluded.

On October 13, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko convened a meeting to check the combat and mobilization readiness of the 7th Special Police Brigade of the Interior Ministry. The head of state explained why regular inspections and training are needed, especially for those who will be called up from the reserve in case of war.

Our rivals should know that we know Belarus well. We know whether tanks can pass through wooded-swamped terrain or not, he said. We clearly understand where we should deploy the Armed Forces. In this regard, the President drew attention to the fact that in the current conditions it will not be possible to lay roads through the swamps, as was done at the beginning of Operation Bagration in 1944. This will not allow modern weapons, in particular drones. So there is a clear understanding of where a potential adversary can cross the border.
