The head of the Odesa recruitment center for the Azov Brigade, Taran, spoke with NV about the unit’s training standards and principles, as well as the combat instructors who help civilians find their path.
The 12th Azov Special Purpose Brigade puts a strong emphasis on the level of training for its recruits, using NATO standards to train its soldiers.
“The recruit we’re training now,” Taran explains, “in two months, will be in a trench with our brothers, alongside us. So we need to prepare him well enough to have full confidence in him.”
The basic combat training course for Azov recruits lasts six weeks. The new soldiers are trained by instructors with extensive combat experience. After completing the course, they are assigned to their respective units, where they receive additional training.
“Our soldiers are constantly learning,” Taran assures. “Training continues even for those units currently on the front lines. So when they come out of the trenches, they are still training.”
