Basic Training for Soldiers Doing Military Service



The Serbian Armed Forces training centres in Sombor, Valjevo and Leskovac are currently conducting basic training for soldiers who have started their military service early in September.

This training phase lasts for a month and a half and it is identical for soldiers of all specialities. During this time, the soldiers are trained in the use of personal weapons and military equipment, the correct execution of basic tactical actions in attack and defence, and in performing the duties of internal service bodies.

Special attention is paid to the practical training of drill and individual tactical actions and procedures on the battlefield and the execution of programme shooting, so that the young soldiers acquire basic military knowledge and skills and prepare appropriately for the training in the use of combat equipment and military equipment of their branch, and service.

At the end of this phase of the training, the soldiers are undergoing a test of competence in performing basic individual tasks, after which they are to be transferred to centres for specialized training.

Though they have spent only several weeks in the armed forces, the soldiers have displayed high motivation and dedication to training and the realization of all other tasks. Many of them have already expressed their desire to become professional soldiers of the Serbian Armed Forces, for which they can apply while still doing their military service.
