In Samara, soldiers of the sports company of the Central Military District were awarded

In the Samara Military History Museum of the Central Military District, a solemn ceremony was held in honor of athletes from the sports company CSKA / Samara. The servicemen were drafted into the army and, during service, participated in competitions of various ranks in which they won the title of world and European champions, the Military Survey reported to the press service of the Central Military District.

In total, about thirty athletes who served in military service and won international, All-Russian and All-Army championships and championships in various Olympic sports took part in the celebration. During the ceremony, in the presence of officers and commanders, athletes were awarded certificates of honor and valuable gifts, the military department said. In the future, enrollment in the sports center of the Central Military District awaits the 43 recruit.

Sports companies existed from the 1950 of the 20 century and covered the entire Soviet Union, from which they "migrated" to the Russian army, where they existed until 2008, when, by the order of the Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov, were completely eliminated. And only after the expiration of 5 years, in 2013, on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin did sports companies be revived in operating units.

Sports companies needed business .. I read in the Second World War of them formed sabotage groups and threw them behind enemy lines. They were hardy, but many of them died very much. Eternal memory to them guys and girls.!

I ran with them in training. A nightmare, a mountain of muscles.

Because they died, that the athletes, not the fighters. Tell me again that Colonel Isymbaev will be able to command the regiment in case of war.

The war will put everything in its place .. During the Second World War, the sports companies performed their duty with honor! They carried out a raid to the deep rear of the enemy (everyone died ..) Eternal memory to them!

As popular wisdom says: "Do not run from the sniper, you will die tired."
If you have the effectiveness of the unit is estimated by the number of deaths .... then we have different ideas about the war. And yet, your "sports" and in the summer in ski races ran?

... more than 500 times became champions and prize-winners of Russian and international competitions. Well done, boys. Nice to see, and mothballs (from idleness) do not smell.

I think we need to strengthen this direction. Stop grinding - we need sports regiments, sports brigades. The goal should be the creation of sports divisions.

Why stop, give sport divisions and a sports circle!

The thing is necessary, although at one time there were excesses. I met the requirements. Everyone should have a second course at the Higher School of Higher Education at least 2-3 sports categories. The third course is 2-1 category, the fourth and further 1p and CCM.
