The Minister of Defense, Robertas Kaunas, emphasized the necessity of maintaining continuous focus on priority tasks within the Land Defence System. According to the Minister, the expertise of the newly appointed deputy minister is expected to significantly bolster several critical areas. Specifically, the deputy minister’s extensive background in internal security services and experience as a mobilization officer within municipalities is anticipated to ensure a consistent strengthening of systems related to universal defense, civil resistance, mobilization efforts, and civil security protocols.
In related discussions, T. Mikelkevičius affirmed his dedication to the ongoing improvement of the national mobilization system. He outlined plans to strengthen civil defense capabilities, enhance public resistance measures, and foster greater cooperation between state bodies, businesses, and non-governmental organizations.
The new deputy minister brings over 25 years of experience in the field of public security to the role. His previous assignments include serving as the coordinator of mobilization affairs within the administration of the Plungė district. This background solidifies his credentials, as he is also a former mobilization officer who has worked at the municipal level.
These combined experiences are intended to provide robust leadership in advancing the nation’s defense posture and enhancing preparedness across all levels of civil defense and mobilization planning.
