Army weekdays. Anyone who has served in the army knows the difficulties they face. He who swore allegiance to his homeland swore with courage to endure all the hardships and deprivations of army life. And these are not empty words. Each soldier, drafted into the armed forces, goes through the training stage: he becomes more resilient, strong, agile, learns to own small arms, hand-to-hand combat techniques. The life of recruits is especially hard. The first thing they have to overcome is a march. What you need to know to overcome this task and what should be learned? This will be discussed in the article.
What is a throw march?
A march is a quick movement of a group of people who pursue a previously assigned goal. In a peaceful life, tourists use it. This is the main type of orienteering competition, where fast walking movements along a given route are made. Such a march-throw may include: running over rough terrain, compass orientation, overcoming water obstacles, ravines, swamps. As a rule, such competitions are held in the forest, at a considerable distance from the settlements.
An army march is not a voluntary event, and this is very different from a tourist one. When doing military service, you will have to face this phenomenon, willy-nilly. Despite the fact that the modern army uses a lot of technical means of transportation, the importance of march-throws does not decrease at all. This remains the most effective means of quickly moving infantry to the place of deployment.
goal
The primary goal of the march is to quickly change the deployment of rifle units. In modern combat, foot units follow armored vehicles. A sudden breakthrough of armored vehicles can dramatically increase the distance between units, and infantry need to be able to keep the optimal distance, where necessary, to ensure safety. The ability to make march throws effectively is half the success of the upcoming battle. Having suddenly appeared in front of the enemy, you can suddenly break the entire course of the battle in your favor.
Also, march-throws are an effective training of military personnel, as a result of which soldiers have increased endurance, strength and cohesion. Even in peacetime, military personnel must maintain good physical fitness and endurance. The young fighter 's course includes daily training. Only by constantly training, does the future fighter acquire skills that can be useful to him in combat.
Travel mode
The mode of movement for the march-throw (like other standards in the army) is chosen directly by the unit commander. Of course, he adheres to the established rules, but it depends on him in what physical form the fighters will arrive at the final point. Excessive fatigue due to failure to complete the task as a whole is not allowed. A heavily overworked soldier will not be able to fight effectively. And the task of each commander is to preserve personnel for the implementation of subsequent tasks.
When driving long distances, running and walking alternate. Military personnel are taken to a specially designated training ground or a special route is laid. Depending on the method of movement, the unit commander gives voice commands. The movement begins with a step - usually a few minutes, then the soldiers go on the run. So, alternating step and run, the soldiers cover the entire distance. And the step is no more than 10 percent of the entire route. How many km the march will last, the commander determines.
Training
Naturally, the young fighter is not able to immediately overcome a long distance with full calculation: for this he needs to be trained, taught. The training of soldiers involved in the sergeant in the training center. All stages are gradual: the pace builds up, the weight of the equipment increases. To begin with, a young fighter is taught to run cross-country for short distances in light clothing, then the distance is increased.
An important stage in the learning process is the fitting of equipment, shoes, clothes. It happens that one incorrectly wound footcloth leads to injuries and loss of combat capability. Arms and equipment must be fitted tightly so that they do not interfere when running or walking. When running, it is advisable to hang the machine gun around your neck and hold it on your chest, putting your hands on it for convenience, and when walking it can be thrown over your shoulder.
An additional task is to overcome obstacles: mountains, fords, ravines, swamps. A march is also a march. What is it and how are soldiers preparing for it? The march transition is a serious test for a soldier - the distance increases greatly, and the amount of equipment increases. One such transition can last more than a day. The pace of movement in transitions is lower than on a march. Soldiers are forced to walk more than run.
Features of marches in the mountains, deserts, in winter
For those soldiers who serve in the winter or inaccessible areas (mountains, desert), there are other requirements and standards. Service in such areas has harsh conditions and requires increased endurance from military personnel. As a rule, soldiers are picked up in such regions even during the draft, based on the results of the medical commission. Children with chronic lung diseases are not allowed to serve in mountainous areas. This is due to the low oxygen content in the air at high altitudes. In particularly high mountain areas, horses are used for marching. What does it give? And it gives a saving in strength and health of personnel. After all, running over rough terrain in the mountains is very difficult.
Feature of movement in the deserts is the hot weather and the scorching sun. Therefore, all personnel should be well protected by wide-brimmed hats from the rays of the sun and have masks in case of sand storms. In winter, you need to beware of frostbite, so clothes and shoes should be warm, and the head is covered with a hat with headphones. Standards in the army in winter are different from summer.
Applying skills
As a result of hard training, military personnel develop skills to overcome considerable distances and various obstacles. A soldier can apply all these skills in various situations. It is not necessary to think that our servicemen can participate only in military conflicts. There are many non-standard cases: natural disasters - fires, floods, landslides; technological disasters - accidents at power plants, the collapse of trains, planes - everywhere soldiers are at the forefront, restoring order and peace to civilians. And this means that the delivery of standards for physical training is indeed the most important point in training a fighter.
Conclusion
A modern fighter must be fully prepared for all the hardships of military service, both physically and mentally. Physical training, first of all, is a march throw, which, together with other disciplines, increases endurance and contributes to the rapid completion of the task. But you need to know that only a well-trained unit can do this quickly. There is safety in numbers! We need a team, well-coordinated work of all personnel and operational services. Only then can the task be achieved.
