Every year on April 8, Belarus celebrates a professional holiday - the Day of Employees of Military Commissariats of the Republic of Belarus Despite the fact that this holiday began to be officially celebrated in the Republic only in 2003, which corresponds to the Order of the Minister of Defense of March 10, No 175, its origins go back to Soviet times Thus, by the Decree of the Soviet Government, dated April 8, 1918, local bodies for the formation of the Red Army were established, which were precisely called commissariats for military affairs This is where the answer to the question about choosing a date comes from: April 8th This body was created with the aim of preparing the population to serve compulsory military service The commissariat is still the place where conscripts begin their service In addition, the commissariats perform the function of performing defense tasks The body performs such an important function not alone, but in cooperation with local executive and administrative authorities Together they develop and implement plans for the possible mobilization of both human and transport resources on the territory of administrative-territorial units Hence the close connection of military commissariats with the entire history of the development, creation and reorganization of the Armed Forces In addition to performing the above functions, the military commissar is the executor of the work and social plan, since the majority of the population is still inextricably linked with the military process Officers study the moral and business qualities of young men in order to prepare the latter to fulfill their duty to the Motherland The commissariat also arranges conversations, in which it involves veterans of the Great Patriotic War, as well as law enforcement officials It is impossible to imagine the activities of a military commissar without office work: sending and receiving postal correspondence, recording materials, preparing orders, ensuring secrecy All this is also the responsibility of the authority Caring for the country's defense capability is a priority at all times The commissariats, being the beginning of the entire army, can rightfully be considered its rear Therefore, one should not underestimate the responsibility and importance of the work performed by military registration and enlistment office employees
