How are command and staff exercises with the troops of the ZOK, told in the Ministry of defense

The Ministry of Defense told how the command-staff exercises with the troops of the Western Operational Command are held. This sb.by reported in the press service of the Ministry.

One of the battalions of the mechanized brigade occupied the concentration area at the Brest training ground and began to perform the assigned tasks. The units equipped control points, places of residence of personnel and equipment, deployed a communication system and equipped engineering barriers. In the near future, the servicemen will begin to perform tasks to strengthen the state border.

As the battalion commander noted, taking into account modern realities, the units are placed in dugouts, which the personnel erected from scratch. Under the ground there are places for rest and eating, command and observation points and shelters for equipment. “The battalion has been assigned artillery and engineering units. Interaction with intelligence units and border guards was also organized. A feature of the battalion’s participation in the exercises will be the mass use of the “enemy” of the UAV. The main focus is on their detection, suppression and destruction. For this purpose, mobile groups with detection detectors and means of suppressing drones are being created in units, he said.

“The main adversary at the moment is sabotage and reconnaissance groups and illegal armed groups operating in small groups. Units practice their search, detection, blocking and fire defeat. All the forces and means of the battalion are used to inflict fire damage: tanks and infantry fighting vehicles from closed firing positions, artillery, FPV drones and maneuverable firing groups. If necessary, at the request of the senior commander, the artillery of the brigade is involved, the battalion commander said. In modern conditions, units operate not in regular offices and platoons, but in groups of fire support and cover. Working in small groups increases the survivability of personnel and the effectiveness of tasks.”.

During the command and staff exercises with the troops of the Western Operational Command, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, First Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Muraveyko, visited the command posts of the 6th Separate Guards Mechanized Brigade and one of its battalions. Pavel Muraveyko heard the report of the brigade commander Alexei Seredokhov on the actions of the unit in accordance with the plan of the exercises. Ministry of Defense: command and staff exercises will be held in the Armed Forces from 15 to 18 September
