To protect the State border of the Republic of Belarus, modern complex weapon systems and equipment are used, requiring deep and versatile knowledge and practical skills. Therefore, special requirements are imposed on members of the border service. One of the most important selection criteria is a high level of physical and moral- psychological preparation.
