With the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of April 8, 1918, the creation of military commissariats began in the Soviet Republic During the year, 7 military registration and enlistment offices were created in districts, 39 in provincial centers, 385 in districts and 7,000 in volosts At that time, the tasks of the military registration and enlistment offices included: • registration of those liable for military service; • initial training in military affairs and conscription into the army, assistance in the implementation of the Decree on Universal Education
Currently, the main task is to improve the quality of pre-conscription training With the collapse of the USSR, this direction was completely abandoned and forgotten A wonderful subject - NVP (Initial Military Training) - is being removed from the school curriculum The ideology of liberals about the absence of enemies in Russia leads to the complete destruction of the methodological, material, technical and personnel components of the NVP Targeted influence on the younger generation has yielded bitter results - reluctance to serve in the army, physical underdevelopment, lack of moral values
We must pay tribute to the employees of the military registration and enlistment offices, who, despite the difficult times for the country and the army, did not forget about the honor of the uniform They didn't sell it for tight packs, for a warm place The officers did everything possible and impossible to preserve the institution of conscription, and the Russian army was provided with reinforcements
Modern commissariats are empowered to carry out the following tasks: • preparatory work and mobilization; • accounting for reserve and material and technical resources; • preparing young people for military service; • organizing conscription and training; • organizing admission to contract service
Military registration and enlistment office employees not only organize and conduct conscription campaigns The military registration and enlistment offices are in charge of: registration and deregistration, registration of profile documentation, provision of legal support to military personnel, search for missing persons and burials of dead soldiers
In recent years, the attitude of the country's leadership towards conscription and military service in general has changed The institution of contract service is developing, and the possibility of alternative service has become available People reacted to the state’s attitude towards the army - every year the number of draft dodgers is decreasing, more and more conscripts are appearing who come to the military registration and enlistment offices without summons
The last few calls showed an excess of the number of people willing to serve over the planned figures This makes it possible to select and more accurately distribute conscripts by branch of the military
Military registration and enlistment office employees constantly improve their skills Employees of the power ministries conduct training camps, methodological classes and other specialized events This work involves not only those responsible for conscription, but also professional selection specialists, doctors and representatives of administrations
Over the years, employees of military registration and enlistment offices have helped to discover and identify the remains of several hundred soldiers and officers who died in the Great Patriotic War Patriotic work is being carried out in schools and universities, which gives hope for the complete restoration of the power of our armed forces
Congratulations to all employees of the country's military registration and enlistment offices on the holiday!
