When regiments, battalions and military training centers, the army command provides for the presence of special territories - parks, which are used to store military weapons and their maintenance. Military equipment belonging to a particular training center not only represents material value for attackers. It is also an important target for sabotage attacks. In order to protect military property from theft and terrorist acts, parks are fenced and guarded.
Types of parks
Territories for the storage of military equipment and weapons - parks - can be permanent and field.
Training centers and shelves with a permanent location are equipped with permanent parks. These territories are characterized by the presence of quality barriers, capital buildings and other structures. Armament is placed in special storage facilities, which are closed parking. On the territory of permanent parks there are also open storage facilities. These are awnings and platforms for military equipment.
Field parks are considered temporary and are built in the field for the period of training activities and maneuvers.
How are permanent parks arranged?
To improve the conditions of storage and repair of military equipment and weapons, the territory calculated for equipping a permanent park is divided into three zones:
- N1. It is intended for storage of army weapons and equipment, which belong to the group of combat and combat use.
- N2. Represents the territory on which the repair of all available in the location of the regiment of the army equipment.
- N3. It is used as a place for storing weapons and equipment belonging to the group of educational and combat training use.
These zones are divided into sections, each of which has a separate unit. To indicate the boundaries between areas in permanent parks, special signs are used.
Such a structure of the territory is necessary to ensure the protection and defense of a training center or regiment, as well as to conduct, in case of urgent need (on alarm), the rapid exit of combat vehicles and army units assigned to them.
Who guards the park?
Ensuring the safety of weapons is carried out by the duty officer in the park. In the regiments, officers are appointed to this temporary position. This task can be performed by warrant officers. In separate battalions, sergeants are also assigned on duty.
About appointment procedure
At the appointed time, the deputy commander of the regiment for armaments carries out the necessary instructions with the ensign or sergeant. After the divorce, the park duty officer must receive all the accountable documents from the co-worker he is replacing. After the formalities are settled, the person who enters the guard along with the shift duty officer must go around the park territory. During the inspection, the state of military equipment and the equipment for receiving signals from the duty officer are checked.
What is subject to verification?

Why do I need a daylight in the park?
During that time period, when the duty officer, along with his shift officer and a member of the fire brigade, walks around the territory and deals with documentation, most of the park remains unattended. In order to prevent possible criminal actions by intruders, the military leadership provides for a daily post, which for some time fulfills all the duties of a park duty officer.
End of reception - change. The beginning of the guard
If shortcomings are identified during the detour that cannot be corrected right away, information about them should be entered in a special book of acceptance and delivery. The final stage of the changing of the guard is the report of the officer on duty to the deputy commander of the regiment for armament and the provision of a book of acceptance and delivery to him.
