New issue of “Odbrana”
The February issue of Odbrana Magazine is dedicated to military education and the upcoming military school enrolment, which symbolically begins on February 15 - Serbian Statehood Day, and lasts until March 31. This important topic for the defence system is covered in a special feature, and it is also discussed in the article entitled “Knowledge”, featured in the Editorial, as well as in the interview with Colonel Assoc. Prof. Srđan Starčević, Ph.D., Vice Rector for Quality and Development at the Defence University.
We have also marked the anniversaries of three important institutions. First, the 146th anniversary of military press, which our establishment celebrated on January 24, and the 149th anniversary of both the Military Geographical Institute "General Stevan Bošković" and the Military Archive, which will be celebrated on February 5.Our Standpoint section is dedicated to another anniversary - Training Command Day - January 15. The article describes how the Training Command’s subordinate units, i.e. its training centres, carry out their highly responsible, extensive and important tasks relating to all three missions of the Armed Forces.
During the past month, our reporters and photo-journalists visited several units of the Serbian Armed Forces, and this issue features an article about training conducted by the 36th Tank Battalion of the Third Army Brigade.
In the text entitled “A Soldier’s mind in a Healthy Body”, you can learn how important sports are in the military, what the Sports Unit does, what sports clubs there are at the Military Academy, and how important physical training is for the readiness of the defence system.
We are certain that the article dedicated to our famous Field Marshal Živojin Mišić, featured in the History section, will catch your attention.
We also recommend that you read the text about the Department for Hospitality Services and the benefits it offers to members of the Armed Forces for quality rest and recreation.
