Shock troops. Watching for innovations in the army
We already had this theme, creating percussion parts. Here, probably, it is worth explaining that today the term “shock battalion”, for example, must be interpreted not from the word “kick”, but from the word “drummer”.
Those percussion units that first appeared in the Russian army at the beginning of the 20 century are somewhat different. Many have already expressed their "fe" about this, but it’s just that people have not studied the subject of discussion very well.
Today we are talking about drummers military competition.
The fact that the competition is being held very actively, they saw with their own eyes and were convinced that this is indeed a competition. Military
Honestly, not as colorful and revealing as Army Games. Not a game, but an ordinary routine. Received a task, completed, reported.
In order for the unit to receive the title of shock, tankers, for example, must go through more than 7 stages, including a “pit stop” for tank T-72B3 - checking the performance of the systems and transferring equipment from the traveling position to combat, performing test exercises firing with a regular 125-mm round and 30 mm shells (for armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles), as well as driving T-72 B3 and BTR-82A tanks with overcoming a 3 kilometer obstacle course.
In addition, the disguise of time, nomination to the line and so on.
Medical training also has a place to be.
20-I army, based in ZVO, has already held such competitions, coinciding with their holding for the anniversary of the formation.
“In the formations and units of the Western Military District today, units with the status“ Impulse ”have appeared. They are already more than 15, three of which are representatives of our 20 Guards combined army.
At its core, this is a reference unit not only for its staffing and security with modern weapons, but also having the best indicators of personnel training. Today, we are choosing another unit that claims this title, ”said Alexander Peryazev, commander of the 20 Combined Arms Army.
What happens, back to the future? We had shock workers of socialist labor, now, it turns out, shock workers of military service?
And why, actually, no?
If the crew of the tank hit three targets with three shells - is it not worthy of imitation? And if in a company the average number of hits does not fall below 2,5?
Again, if the crew of the BTR-82A spends on hitting targets not 30 shells, and 15?
If the arrows of the infantrymen from time to time show excellent results in combat training?
There may be objections. There was a sign “excellent shooter”, “excellent driver” and so on. There was such a measure of encouragement as the pennant of the Minister of Defense of the country.
Pennant is good. And a badge badge too. But the pennant - the only difference. For part or military high school or academy. The sign is personal. And now we will simply offer to consider our understanding of this issue, which is different, say, from the opinion of Mr. Ischenko from the Free Press, who criticized this idea.
Pennant Minister of Defense handed to whom? Correct, parts and connections. That is very large structures.
Today, a company of BTG can become a shock. What is behind this?
And there is the following. More opportunities to express themselves personally, if the fighter has such a desire. An excellent pupil can be one for a platoon or a company, just not lucky. There is - and there is, the sign is handed, well done and all that. What's next? Further - nothing special. Service.
Several different perspectives open up before the fighter of the strike unit, which Major General Peryazev, commander of the 20 Army, told the guard in an interview.
Ordinary fighters of the shock division will have advantages over ordinary mouth fighters for appointments to sergeant positions. The sergeants will be more actively promoted to ensigns.
Naturally, financial incentives, that is, cash surcharges, will also take place.
In addition, Peryazev noted that the timing of the next vacation for contract soldiers will also be made in favor of the drummers. It is unlikely that the private or sergeant of the shock company will go on a regular vacation in December or February.
A fighter-excellent in a company is good. Excellent / shock company in the battalion - even better.
If behind the title of a shock company there is an increase in material well-being, then it makes sense not only to win this title, but also to keep it. That, accordingly, cannot be an individual merit. This is a collective work.
It is worth giving an example of our athletes. Remember how the Russian national hockey team, made up of "stars" of the NHL, "merged" all in a row? And just like at the last championship, the same team, made up by no means from the “stars”, won medals that overseas masters could not always get.
Seem to be. If a company is a well-established tool for performing a task of any complexity, it deservedly bears the title of a shock, then there is one more thing.
An excellent company is a good tool for teaching whom? That's right, young officers. A young, but promising lieutenant, having got into such a company, will be able not only to take for himself the maximum of what is possible (and with a good team much becomes possible), but also to further transfer the gained experience to other units.
The same applies to sergeants and warrant officers. A person who has achieved certain success should share experiences and educate others.
What do we win? We win the professionalism of the fighters. An important moment.
Comrade Guard Major General Peryazev is serious. He sincerely wants the 20 Army, a unit that will celebrate its 75 anniversary next year, to remain on an excellent account in the district. Today, the 20 Army is truly a guardian of our border with an inadequate neighbor. Hence, the next should only be better.
In itself, the idea of holding such competitions for the commander’s cup, district cup, and so on is not new. But who said that from our past we should take only the worst?
The idea of such competitions, designed specifically to find out the best of the best, not on the basis of specially developed rules, as in “Army Games”, which, as you know, are somewhat different from everyday work, but on the basis of everyday tasks, in our opinion, useful and promising. .
Time will tell, as far as we are right. But there is confidence that this useful initiative will take root.
