Guards of the Eastern Territorial Administration harden physical strength
Soldiers of the Eastern Territorial Department of the National Guard of Ukraine passed the obstacle course. The distance of the obstacle course is 400 meters. The guards perform a number of elements: throw grenades, jump out of the trench, jump over the ditch, run through the labyrinth passages, climb over the fence, climb the stairs to the “destroyed bridge”, move on beams, jump through gaps, jump to the ground, the steps of the “destroyed” ladder, move through the “gaps” in the walls, pass the passages of communication.
Also during this time, you have to overcome a hundred meters at a speed several times at the maximum speed. The soldiers shared what elements were the most difficult for them.
“I'm on the obstacle course for the first time. The elements are interesting. They require dexterity. Strangely enough, I felt the most fatigue at the final hundred meters,” says guard Sergey.
The servicemen also performed the entire set of exercises, except for those that need to be performed at a height of more than two meters.
“Today is very hot, so of course it was not easy. You need to run fast and at the same time perform all these elements for coordination and balance,” says Olga.
Hero of Ukraine and newly appointed head of the National Guard Oleksandr Pivnenko believes that such practice should be introduced on a regular basis. And no matter what department or management body it is. Guardsmen are engaged on at least two variants of obstacle courses. One involves exercises with a deck, carrying heavy boxes of weapons and ammunition, rolling a wheel, overcoming distance under barbed wire. The above-mentioned elements, with the exception of some forces, have practical use by the Ukrainian infantry in a combat situation.
