Despite the fact that more than seven decades have passed since the end of the Great Patriotic War, many of its pages remain unread. Not all the dead are buried. Until now, nameless remains are found at the battlefields, and many families have not learned about the fate of their loved ones. The search movement is gaining in popularity. You can create a search squad at an educational institution, at an enterprise, at the Museum of Military Glory.
You will need
- - passport data of the participants of the future detachment;
- - texts of laws on search activity;
- - tourist and search equipment;
- - A computer with Internet access.
Instruction manual
1
Check out the legal framework. Search activity in Russia is rather strictly regulated. First of all, you need the law "On perpetuating the memory of those who died in the defense of the Fatherland." Search operations related to the evacuation of the remains, weapons and military equipment should be carried out in the presence of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the military enlistment office. Therefore, the proposed creation of a search squad in these organizations is best reported immediately.
2
Assemble a team of like-minded people. If you want to participate a little, it is better to join any existing search squad. This will provide an opportunity to get acquainted with its structure and features of the organization of search activities. With a large number of potential participants, start with a general meeting. Discuss the areas of work, the possible name and candidacy of the commander. Be sure to write a protocol. Indicate the exact address of the venue. Record all participants in the meeting with last names, first names, patronymics and passport data. The protocol should also indicate the accepted name, surname, name and patronymic of the commander. Make a decision to join the Union of search units. It is best to resolve the issue of entry right away. This organization is authorized by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to conduct search work.
3
Develop Charter squad. Indicate the goals and objectives of your organization, structure. Determine what each member of the squad is responsible for and what are its responsibilities. A sample Charter can be requested from an existing squad that has long been engaged in search activities. You can also apply directly to the Union of search units or its regional branch.
4
Make a work plan. Plan not only military archaeological expeditions, but also archival and local history work. This is especially important if the detachment is of different ages and has minors in it. They should not be taken on military-archaeological expeditions, since they are associated with hazardous work, but they can also conduct historical and local history studies.
5
Think about where and how the unit’s fighters will learn safety. Each participant needs to know what to do if a suspicious item is discovered. Invite a specialist from the military unit that deals with the disposal of such items. It is possible that such a person will be found among those who want to join the squad.
6
Make a list of the necessary equipment. You will need tourist and search equipment, tools. It is better to acquire it centrally, especially if the detachment is large. It is possible that the youth department of the local administration agrees to help you. There are search teams in large enterprises, in which case a trade union organization or a department for social issues can help.
