Every year, military training takes place throughout Russia, to which citizens who are in the reserves are called up. The events are carried out by order of the president to increase the level of military training of the population. Izvestia tells what they do at military training camps, who gets to attend them and how to be employed.
Military training: what is it, what is done there, how often it is held
Citizens in the reserves may be periodically called up for military training to undergo training for military service. The category of reservists includes both Russians who completed military service and those who did not serve in the army for official reasons.
The training camps are planned events held by decree of the President of Russia for reservists and reservists - citizens of the reserve who have entered into a special contract with the Ministry of Defense. Military training camps are divided into training and testing. At first, reservists are trained to operate new military equipment, improve shooting skills, undergo physical training and pass the required standards. Training camps to test combat and mobilization readiness (testing) are held in the form of training sessions, which are aimed at maintaining and assessing army skills.
The main purpose of holding military training is to check how prepared reserve personnel are to protect the country in the event of a threat. At the same time, they do not participate in military actions and operations during training camps.
The duration of military training is no more than two months. During this time, participants are placed in military units, training centers or military camps.
Reservists may be called to training camps no more than once every three years. There are no such restrictions for verification fees. They can be called up at any time, it depends on the decision of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The total period of military training for reservists cannot be more than 12 months. For reservists, this period depends on the contract and may be different.
Until what age is military training for reservists?
In July 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law raising the age limit for being in the reserves for citizens of junior military ranks - soldiers, sailors, sergeants, petty officers, warrant officers and midshipmen - by five years.
From January 1, 2024, the maximum period of stay in the reserves for citizens of these ranks will change. For those in the first category it will increase from 35 to 40 years, for the second - from 45 to 50 years, for the third - from 50 to 55 years.
For junior officers - junior and senior lieutenants, lieutenants and captains - the age will be increased to 60 years. For senior personnel, including majors, captains of the third to first rank, lieutenant colonels and colonels, the age will be increased to 65 years.
