Food and Clothing Service Day of the Russian Armed Forces
February 18 · Level 6 · #948 of 2238
A day for the military and civilian specialists who feed and clothe the army, from field kitchens to uniforms and boots. A well-fed, warmly dressed soldier serves better, so this work matters to the whole force.
How it is celebrated: units hold formal meetings and inspections, present awards to the best specialists and invite veterans of the service to meet younger colleagues.
On the march and in the field, Russian servicemen often get an individual ration pack: a set of ready-to-eat food in a single package that can be warmed up or eaten straight away.
