The Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School (DVOKU) in Blagoveshchensk this year will release cadets almost three months earlier than usual – on April 29. It is reported by Amur Life with reference to the press service of the Eastern Military District.
Last year, the release took place on July 23. The future commanders of platoons of motorized rifle, mountain and arctic units, as well as the marines, ensigns who have been trained under the program of secondary vocational education and foreign officers studying under a special program leave the school.
The cadets have already entered the final stage and started defending their final qualifying work. The reasons for the reduction in training time are not explained. At the same time, Vyacheslav Kuzyakin, deputy head of the DVOKU for educational and scientific work, said earlier that in each graduation work, cadets, on the orders of the head of the school, consider the experience of a “special operation” (this is how the authorities still call the war in Ukraine). Now 9 candidates apply for a gold medal and 61 people for a red diploma.
One of the cadets of the DVOKU, Yuri Gutsenko, said that the topic of his thesis was “Methods of preparing a unit for combat in urban conditions.”
“I believe that this topic is directly related to current realities, and my work can even be applied as methodological recommendations.”
While the Far Eastern cadets, by order, are considering the "special operation experience", in Moscow and the regions they are looking for those who will gain experience in military service. For the first time, they plan to send out electronic subpoenas through State Services and SMS, as the military commissioner of Moscow specified, this will become possible "only after the adoption of a resolution by the government of the Russian Federation." Even before the adoption of the first draft law on electronic subpoenas, Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense, assured that the amendments would not apply to the spring draft in 2023.
