Why is this important
The Senate’s consideration of issues related to the development of the Armed Forces and military security allows for assessing the current state of the country’s defense capability and the effectiveness of the ongoing reforms. A separate focus on service conditions, social support for military personnel, and working with citizens’ appeals reflects a comprehensive approach to military administration.
