The ceremonial launch was followed by trainings organized within the framework of the combat readiness plan. The first exercise was based on the implementation of required actions from the military personnel, during the issuance of the alarm signal. Throughout the first two days, operations were executed by staffs of squads, platoons, squadrons, and battalions. On the third day, those same operations were conducted by military units. Seconds after the issuance of the alarm signal, subdivisions of the National Army left their posts and headed towards the central region. ARM Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan, the Chief of GS AF, Colonel-General Yuri Khachaturov, their deputies and the heads of departments were constantly supervising the performance of trainings. They also gave specific orders and instructions to the subdivisions of the National Army. On March 10, two-day tactical drill trainings were conducted in the central headquarters of the ARM Ministry of Defence. Servicemembers and employees of individual departments and divisions presented themselves in the administrative complex of the ARM Defence Ministry within the specified period of time and dressed in an adequate military outfit. Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan greeted the personnel and noted that combat readiness is an essential element in the service and that all servicemembers and employees should instantly be prepared to execute the tasks brought upon them. He also added that during the previous training phase, positive results were submitted for the discipline and improvement of combat readiness of the personnel. The Minister of Defence is confident that the subdivisions involved in the combat readiness program will once again honorably perform their duties. The ARM Minister of Defence also visited the Military Police department and the National Military Commissariat to oversee the process of their trainings.
