Special attention was paid to studying the experience of developed countries and combat operations, and introducing modern approaches to the military management and training system. In particular, it was noted that there is a need to widely apply new technologies, including unmanned systems and digital management solutions, to improve troop efficiency.

Specific tasks were also defined for modernizing and developing the infrastructure of military-administrative sectors, training grounds, educational institutions, and material-technical support facilities in line with modern requirements.

Instructions were given to continue improving the military personnel training system, strengthen scientific research, and expand programs aimed at mastering modern weapons and technologies.
