Remember the service and learn military science. In the factory district there are fees with military servicemen

Charges with military reserve are held in the Zavodsk district from 1 to 25 September. On September 10, as part of the preparation of a battalion of territorial troops at a military shooting range located near the residential area of Sosny, fire training classes were held, the correspondent of the Minsk-Novosti agency reports.

- One of the main tasks of the collections is the formation of a battalion of territorial troops and its preparation for the fulfillment of tasks for the purpose, said the military commissar of the Zavodsk district, Colonel Andrei Pukhalsky. Special attention is paid to tactical, fire and military medical training. More than 200 people aged 35 to 50 years are participating in the gatherings. The mood of the personnel is elevated. All readily comprehend military affairs, show initiative, learn something new for themselves that can be useful in defending their Fatherland. Living and living conditions are good for them. They eat in the dining room.

Classes at the military shooting range were organized at four training points. The first was fired from a TT pistol at a distance of 25 meters and from an AK-74 assault rifle by 100 meters. On the second, the soldiers practiced skills in the equipment of shops, on the third they threw a hand grenade, on the fourth, again, under the guidance of an instructor, they practiced the equipment for shooting lying down.

- We are preparing for the tenth day, the commander of a separate infantry battalion of territorial troops, Colonel of the Reserve Igor Ivchenkov, said at half-time. Overall, I am pleased with the results. We still have a long study ahead of us. For me personally, these fees were not a big surprise. As a reserve officer, I have to be ready to stand up at any time. Especially when it comes to territorial defense. We need to be able to protect our home, our neighborhood, our country. Therefore, we are preparing to perform tasks at such gatherings.

According to Ivchenkov, before his dismissal from the army, he served in the main department of combat training of the Armed Forces. Therefore, he does not know about officer service firsthand. As for his subordinates, people of age, with different physical training, participate in the gatherings. But everyone is trying, mastering military science, restoring skills lost over the years.

Senior reserve sergeant Alexander Zezyulchik is 40 years old. He works as a PVC window installer. He received the working profession of a bricklayer-installer-electric welder during his studies in Minsk State College of Construction named after V. G. Kamensky.

- Work before the winter is traditionally a lot. Therefore, colleagues were a little upset to learn that for a while they lose a specialist in my face in their ranks, says A. Zezyulchik. But at the same time, they understood my call for fees. They calmly accepted receiving a summons in the family. At home, I am waiting for my wife Olga, eight-month-old daughter Maria and 13-year-old son Fedor. My wife looked at me and said, I can see how your eyes are burning, that you want to go to the training camp. We'll be waiting for you at home. After all, I used to serve as a senior sergeant in the 5th separate brigade of special forces in Maryina Gorka, was there the commander of the department. Therefore, when the summons came, he readily went to the military enlistment office.

According to A. Zezulchik, the team picked up good. I met everyone. With one of the conscripts, whose name is Dmitry, even live in the neighborhood. However, they met only at the gatherings.

Lieutenant of the medical service of the reserve Sergey Avdey at the time of training performs the duties of the head of the battalion medical center. He is subordinated to paramedic Anton Zabara. In civil life, he works as an anesthesiologist-resuscitator in the RSPC Pulmonology and Phthisiatrics. He received medical education at the Belarusian State Medical University.

- My duties at the training camps include providing medical assistance to servicemen of the territorial troops, Avdey informs. In addition, together with the paramedic, I participate in combat training. Although I am involved in medicine, I find a lot of new things for myself while studying under the guidance of instructors. It is important for all of us to learn how to properly provide first aid, evacuate the wounded and more in modern combat.

The commander of the engineering platoon, senior lieutenant of the reserve Alexander Yakovenko, did not undergo military service. At one time he graduated from the military department of BNTU and also participated in two-week military training at the training ground.

- There they also carried out explosions as sappers, that is, they worked with explosives, Yakovenko recalls. - So there's practice. I now command a platoon of 12 men. Many have secondary special education. Everyone understands responsibility when performing combat missions. The boys are in a good mood.

The training will be completed with a tactical exercise, which will practice the actions of the territorial troops to protect and defend the facility.
