District chiefs training to set up territorial defense

December 18, Pozirk. The General Staff will hold a five-day training course for chairpersons of district executive committees from December 18 to 22, the defense ministry’s press office reported.
Its participants will learn how to organize and deploy territorial defense units using modern military conflict experience, it noted.
In early October, regional chiefs had training in mobilization readiness.
Territorial troops are an auxiliary part of the Armed Forces called up in times of war or tense military and political situations. They are formed of persons who had military training and are currently in the reserve.
In late May, Defense Minister Viktar Chrenin announced that territorial defense “is being transformed from a support system into a full-fledged combat one.”
