“It should be mentioned that the system of preparation for mobilization in our country was not fully adapted to the new modern economic relations. Therefore, everything had to be sorted out as we went along. However, after the officers of the state- major took consistent and professional measures and in cooperation with the authorities of the RF entities, 300,000 were called up for military service citizens who were in reserve, ”said V. Gerasimovs.
