TFCC President’s Letter – 4th of June

Recent announcements

Dear Fellow Members,

Here are my thoughts today and some information about our events in June 2020.

 

FOURTH OF JUNE

Today is the birthday of Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, the most famous military leader and former president of Finland, who helped Finland earn its independence.

The occasion is also celebrated as the Flag Day of The Finnish Defence Forces. The military reserve forces and reserve officers are an important part of The Finnish Defence Forces. The Finnish military national defence is based on the civic duty of military service. Once you have completed the conscript service part of the liability for military service, you will be mustered out in the Finnish Defence Forces’ reserve. Most of the conscripts, who are trained to be officers, graduate from the Reserve Officer School (Reserviupseerikoulu) which is a part of Army Academy and where they receive leadership training. Since 1920 the Reserve Officer School has trained over 175,000 reserve officers for the Finnish Defence Forces reserve.

Thank you Marshal Mannerheim and The Finnish Defense Forces for the Independence of Finland and congratulations the Reserve Office School for 100 years of leadership training!
