The Vitebsk Oblast Military Commissariat holds leading positions among similar formations in other regions
Over time, mobilization has become one of the most important functions of the state. Along with planning the mobilization deployment of the Armed Forces, the transition of the country's economy, state apparatus, transport, communications, healthcare, finance, agriculture, trade, and other necessary institutions to a wartime footing began to be planned.
Today, military commissariats are local military administration bodies that, together with executive and administrative bodies, ensure the implementation of legislation in the field of defense and state security.
– The Vitebsk Regional Military Commissariat holds leading positions among similar formations in other regions. For example, based on the results of last year, military mobilization activities in our region were completed with an excellent rating, – said the Military Commissar of the Vitebsk Region, Colonel Ruslan Shkodin. – Our employees have a good understanding of the responsibility entrusted to them and justify the trust placed in them. The conscientious work of military personnel and civilian staff has been repeatedly recognized by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus. The team consists of about 100 people. Moreover, most of them have been working here for a long time.
Today, active work is being carried out on the military-patriotic education of youth. Active assistance is provided to general education institutions in organizing and conducting mandatory and voluntary training of young men for military service, and in mastering military registration specialties. In addition, by decision of the regional executive committee and with the assistance of the regional council of deputies, of which Ruslan Shkodin is a deputy, pre-conscription training centers have been established at schools. There are 15 of them in the region. Vitebsk region is a leader among the country's regions in creating such platforms.
– Our profession is to defend the Motherland, preserve peace, strengthen the combat power and economic independence of the country. I express gratitude and appreciation to all the personnel of the military commissariats for their loyalty to their service duty, diligence, and professionalism. I sincerely wish you good health, family well-being, and peaceful skies above your heads, – Ruslan Shkodin concluded.
