The exercise is being led by First Deputy Defense Minister \u2014 Chief of the General Staff <b>Pavel Muraveika<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives of the General Staff, executive committees, and military commissariats are involved in the exercise.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cAt 9 a.m. today, a training exercise began to form territorial troops of the Republic of Belarus in all administrative and economic centers of the country, involving all regional and district executive committees,\u201d<\/i> Muraveika said.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will practice issues related to collecting and analyzing information on the progress of formation activities, as well as making the necessary decisions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Muraveika, a \u201ccomplex environment\u201d has been created for the exercise, taking into account ongoing processes in Europe and new provisions set out in the defense plan.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWe are also guided by modern challenges and threats and by the actions of various regular formations in contemporary military conflicts.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Territorial defense today is one of the key areas for ensuring the security of the Republic of Belarus. In particular, only by making national defense a matter for the entire population can the protection of sovereignty and territorial integrity be guaranteed. This is the focus. This is what the main content of the exercise will be devoted to,\u201d the Chief of the General Staff added.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that there is already experience in forming territorial defense units at the scale of one or two regions. However, this exercise covers all six regions and Minsk.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThe scope of the activities being carried out is significantly increasing, and certain formation timelines are being considerably shortened. This should provide us with another layer of information to further improve both the territorial troops and the territorial defense system as a whole,\u201d<\/i> Muraveika said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_527862\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-527862\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-527862 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-12.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-12-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-12-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-527862\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e: \u041c\u0438\u043d\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u044b<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_527861\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-527861\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-527861 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-14.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-14-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-14-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-14-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-527861\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e: \u041c\u0438\u043d\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u044b<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_527860\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-527860\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-527860 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-15.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-15-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-15-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-527860\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e: \u041c\u0438\u043d\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u044b<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_527859\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-527859\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-527859 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-17.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-17-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-17-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo_2026-03-24_10-39-17-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-527859\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e: \u041c\u0438\u043d\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u044b<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministry of Defense of Belarus has announced another training exercise, this time focused on the formation of territorial troops.
