As part of its comprehensive 2025 training plan, the Azerbaijani Army has launched a series of specialized training and instructional gatherings aimed at fortifying the morale and psychological resilience of its troops.

These gatherings, which brought together psychologists, personnel officers, and department heads overseeing ideological and mental support, are designed to enhance the army’s strength, both physically and mentally, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry told Caliber.Az.

During the sessions, Major General Mushvig Mammadov, the head of the Main Department of Personnel, delivered a speech outlining the significant strides made over the past year in personnel management and the bolstering of soldiers’ psychological well-being. He also discussed the core objectives for the upcoming year, setting the stage for continued improvement.

Colonel Elshad Abilov, who heads the Department of Ideological Work and Moral and Psychological Support, elaborated on the various initiatives aimed at enhancing military-patriotic education and strengthening the mental fortitude of Azerbaijani soldiers. His focus was on integrating psychological training into everyday military life, preparing soldiers to face the challenges ahead with unwavering determination.

The event concluded with reports from senior officers, detailing the progress made in ideological work and outlining future plans to keep morale high and the spirit of unity strong within the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. The camps serve as an important reminder that the mental and emotional readiness of a soldier is just as crucial as physical strength in securing victory.
