Registration for peacetime commando units begins on May 1 this year and will continue until August 31.
The changed structure of military commandantries will be created during peacetime on the basis of the Military Conscription and Manpower Service of the Lithuanian Army and already existing commandants. In addition to the appointed commandants and their deputies and commandant units, there will be an opportunity to train reserve persons in peacetime and provide patriotic citizens with military knowledge and integrate them into the structure of commandant units.
The commandant units of commandant offices will be filled during peacetime with professional military servicemen assigned to conscripts of the prepared reserve, commandant marksmen of the Lithuanian Rifle Association and civilians. In peacetime, their military training will be ensured by the National Defense Volunteer Forces (KASP). A wide network of commandant offices will allow to prepare civic-minded individuals so that they can defend and defend important objects in specific, well-known residential areas.
All patriotic citizens can sign up for commandant offices. People of all specialties and education who want to prepare for national defense and acquire basic military knowledge and skills are welcome at the commandant’s offices.
It is intended to ensure the supply of commandant units with weapons and equipment (during exercises). Individuals registered in Commandant units will be trained 3-10 days a year by being invited to exercise as part of this unit, along with other ready reserve soldiers assigned to these units.
In case of war, citizens included in the commandant’s lists and having acquired military skills will help defend their town or district, protect important objects in the residential environment. The persons belonging to the curfew units will take care of the protection of important objects in their city or district, install security checkpoints, ensure the observance of curfew rules, participate in the property requisition process, monitor the environment, fight against illegal armed groups or perform other tasks assigned by the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
It is planned that military training will begin in the military units of the military commandantships already in October.
