The Defence Forces are 32 years old, which is not that long time historically, but during this time we have faced challenges such as peacekeeping missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are still actively involved in peacekeeping missions in the Central African Republic.Â
There were battles for territorial integrity in Abkhazia and Samachablo. From the above, the Defense Forces have gained the greatest experience in the military perspective. Together we will face the challenges of today, and together we will win because we are one big family.
The leadership of the National Defense Academy is constantly focused on implementing news in every direction and creating a better environment for each of you.
I would like to salute our wounded servicemen and women who sacrificed their health in the service of their Motherland. I salute the fallen servicemen and women and my deepest respect to their families.
I especially want to greet our present junkers and listeners family members, I want to thank them for coming and raising such great kids. It’s you who deserve much of their success, your support gave them motivation to be among the winners today.
I wish you success in the service of our country and once again congratulations on the Day of Defense Forces! ‘.
