The SVK Ministry of Defence is launching an Active Reserves pilot project. Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš specified that potential candidates, i.e. the soldiers in Reserves who comply with all legal conditions, are invited to submit their applications for inclusion in the Active Reserves to the Personnel Office of the SVK Armed Forces between 2 and 30 September through recruitment groups, located in each regional administrative capital city, depending on the place of their permanent residence. In the upcoming year, the MOD is planning to train up to 50 members of the Active Reserves in the engineer military occupational specialty.
“Training for the Active Reserves is fully in line with the SVK Government Manifesto Commitments as well as with the White Paper on Defence of the Slovak Republic. The latter was submitted for consideration to the SVK Government last month. The Active Reserves system has not been functional up until now. We need to change this,” said Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš, commenting on the need to launch the new project. “At present, there is a shortage of specialists in the SVK Armed Forces, in particular engineers, CBRN specialists, and artillerymen. We want to make up for the shortage also through the Active Reserves, under which a training unit is to be set up,” said SVK Chief of Defence Gen Milan Maxim. In 2017, the training is scheduled to take place on 15-26 May. For more information, go to Oznámenie Ministerstva obrany SR o možnosti zaradenia vojakov v zálohe do aktívnych záloh.
