28 April marks the Day of the CSTO Joint Staff. It should be recalled that on 28 April 2003, in Dushanbe, the Collective Security Council, guided by the need to establish a military staff body responsible for implementing the military component of the Collective Security Treaty, adopted the Decision “On the Establishment of the Joint Staff of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.”

On August 28, in the Republic of Belarus, at the “Losvido” training ground, instructional and methodological classes were held with the Command of the CSTO CRRF on management, formation and coordination.
These trainings are aimed at implementing one of the most important goals of the upcoming joint trainings – improving the organization of management of the CSTO Collective Forces.
Officials of the CRRF Command, the CSTO Joint Staff, representatives of defense and other law enforcement agencies were involved in the events.
During the training, officers of the CSTO Joint Staff provided information on the deployment and organization of work at the CRRF control center, including the heads of the armed forces, services and other structural units. Special attention was paid to the organization and conduct of command coordination events, as well as the organization of counteraction to enemy UAVs at control points.
The materials of the training sessions were prepared taking into account the experience of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during a special military operation.
These events ended with a practical demonstration of the work of a visual surveillance post and a mobile fire group to counter enemy UAVs.
