As part of the national holiday program celebrating 11 October – the People’s Uprising Day, the Army continued the celebration today by organizing a Tactical-Technical Display in Prilep. The event was attended by the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Major General Sashko Lafchiski, the Commander of the Operations Command, Brigadier General Mirche Gjorgoski, the Commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, Brigadier General Dejan Chiplakovski, and the Mayor of the Municipality of Prilep, Dejan Prodanoski.
The citizens had the opportunity to get a closer look at some of the armament and military equipment of the Army. The service personnel of the Special Forces Battalion demonstrated martial arts exercises which sparked great interest.
The national holiday program began the evening before the holiday, when service personnel of the Army traditionally carried out a demonstration of an improvised attack on the “Uchastok” (the historic police station).
The aim of organizing such events on the occasion of national holidays is to bring the military profession closer to the citizens, promote the Army and its capabilities, and further strengthen Civil-Military Cooperation.
This kind of celebration enables the Army to pay tribute to this significant historical date, which remains a lasting reminder that freedom, peace, and security are fundamental values preserved and strengthen through unity, responsibility, and continuous dedication.
