Internal troops are a special type of troops that are not part of the country's armed forces But their task is no less dangerous and important than that of the army Internal troops perform a huge number of important and dangerous tasks, including:
• protection of public order; • ensuring the safety of citizens during emergency situations; • protection of dangerous goods and particularly important facilities; • protection from terrorism and terrorist acts; • internal security of the country
In addition, representatives of the explosives may be recruited to perform additional tasks The official history of the internal troops begins back in 1921, when this term first appeared within the USSR But if we talk about Belarus, then in 1918 in Vitebsk an explosives department was created by volunteers
It is not at all surprising that to honor the service performed, a holiday was founded for the military of this category The Day of the Internal Troops of Belarus is dedicated to all those who faithfully serve their country and are ready to give their lives for the good and safety of society
In Belarus, this day falls at the beginning of spring, namely March 18 This date was chosen for a reason, because it was on this day that volunteers founded VV Of course, in the last century they were different from modern military personnel But it was thanks to them that the history of valiant service began, which from year to year constantly guarantees peace of mind to the population
On this day, concerts are held in honor of the brave defenders This is one of the few moments when military personnel can rest peacefully Usually, they undergo intensive training to improve their skills
