At the end of October, nearly 60 soldiers of the 5th Mazovian Territorial Defence Brigade company ended their participation in intensive integrated training. Exercises were another step in improving bombardment, shooting and tactical skills that let soldiers to effectively carry out tasks in combat and crisis conditions.
The classes were carried out in Mazowiecki shooting ranges, tactical belts and in large training complexes, which allowed to carry out activities with combat measures - including explosives.
As the commander of the bomb squad emphasizes - cf. Grzegorz, the training was a natural improvement of earlier stages of preparation: at the beginning of the year we organized a series of lectures for soldiers devoted to explosives, so as to prepare them for safe and effective execution of tasks in practice. Then we focused on improving miner skills. The current integrated training was another step – not only aimed at perpetuating erstwhile knowledge, but besides at deepening and developing the applicable abilities of my subordinates.
During the classes, soldiers perfected individual and squad skills in the sub-division, including shooting, tactics and engineering-saper activities, including specialized tasks specified as demolition of wooden and metallic components, calculation of charges to blow up structures, and creation of fire and electrical explosive networks. Each of these elements was intended to prepare soldiers for the safe and effective execution of tasks in combat and crisis conditions.
Completed integrated training of the Territorials is an crucial step in the training and improvement of professionals. By combining explanation with intensive applicable training, soldiers gained the chance to test their skills in realistic conditions, which straight translates into an increase in their combat readiness. The bomb squad summed up the phase of specialist training, confirming the advanced level of preparation and engagement of staff and soldiers. Before them, another year from the Teritorials training cycle - the phase of the recording training.
The WOT training cycle lasts 3 years and is divided into 3 stages: individual (first year), specialist (second year) and rapper (third year). During this time, OT soldiers train as part of rotational training, organized on days off work and learning, at least 2 days a month. Each training year, the Territorials complete 2 weeks of integrated, full-time or 2 modules training.
