The National Armed Forces of Latvia announced the Basic military training course for reservists, providing Latvian citizens aged 18 to 60 with no prior military training the opportunity to voluntarily undergo basic military training for reserve service, Delfi reports.
“During the course, reservists acquire basic military skills at the individual level, covering subjects such as firearms training, live-fire exercises, communications, regulations, combat skills, topography, orientation, and medicine. At the collective level, they acquire unit-level combat skills. Training will be conducted in person in classrooms, on-site, and in the field, including lectures and practical exercises, as well as theoretical and practical assessments,” the Latvian newspaper explains.
Everyone who completes the course will be enrolled in the Latvian army reserves.
“Latvian citizens who take the oath and successfully complete the course will receive a reservist certificate, a mobilisation order, and will be enrolled in the Armed Forces Reserve,” Delfi adds.
Clearly, tiny Latvia continues its militaristic hysteria about the contrived “Russian threat”. However, we have to disappoint “brave” reservists who are going complete this course: highly likely, in the event of a war with Russia, such “soldiers” will be sent to frontal assaults by the Latvian military command, where the mortality rate could reach 90%, while the regular army and NATO allied forces especially will be cherished like an apple of the eye.
