The message of the Head of state emphasizes that the implementation of program measures in the National Armed Forces, ensuring peace in the country in accordance with the requirements of the Military Doctrine of Turkmenistan, which is purely defensive in nature, primarily depend on the training of highly qualified military personnel. In this regard, mentoring officers occupy a special place in military universities in the training of professional commanders and military specialists who are patriotic, dedicated to the military cause, who possess military equipment, combat skills and abilities.
"Your task is to enrich the military and political outlook of the youth, to form a generation with a broad outlook in various military professions, relying on modern technology and achievements of science and technology.

The parade march of the columns of the main participants of the celebration marked the end of one of the most important days in the life of every military cadet who decided to link his fate with the noble profession of defender of the Fatherland.
The defense capability of the country depends not only on the availability of modern military equipment, but also on the system of training of soldiers and officers. National military pedagogy is based on the development and improvement of moral and combat qualities, raising the prestige of the profession of a serviceman, and shaping young people's sense of responsibility for the fate of the Motherland.
The purely defensive Military Doctrine of independent neutral Turkmenistan, successfully implemented, defines the main activities of the military and law enforcement agencies, taking into account the neutral status of our state and the peaceful foreign policy pursued by it.

The state builds for the defenders of the Fatherland and their families modern comfortable houses, sports complexes and recreation centers, new buildings and facilities in the existing military camps and border posts, which meet the high requirements of the established standards.
