The first five-minute stage was accompanied by a crossword puzzle on the sections of the Primary Military Training program. In the second stage the guys competed in a military-sports relay race with elements of civil defense.

It should be noted that each participant fulfilled standards for the use of individual means of protection of respiratory organs and skin, as well as standards for first aid. In addition, young rescuers demonstrated skills in assembly and disassembly of air rifle.
