The year of 1918 could be year of death for the Armenian nation if by God’s will would not happen “the miracle of Sardarabad”.
On May 21, 1918 the Turkish army occupies the station and village of Sardarapat, creating a direct threat to Yerevan.
The Armenian regiments which left to the enemy the whole Western Armenia and Kars district almost without resistance, could not retreat any more. They had to either accept the battle with determination to win, or pass the enemy the remaining last handful of soil of the Homeland.

To regulate relations between servicemen in the regiments, to include them in social activities, sports-cultural groups, to overcome the difficulties during the service with joint efforts Sergeants Councils and Public Actives have been created.
Regiment’s Sergeants Council manages sergeants’ activities, strengthens the link between the command and personnel. There are many questions during the service, which are better to solve not with the efforts of the command staff but with the help of sergeants. However first of all the Council’s task is to raise sergeants’ professional, commanding skills so they would be able to manage better their subordinates, and if necessary replace the platoon commanders, conduct trainings.

Our recruitment office, headed by Commissar Colonel Albert Karamyan, deals with call-up with full responsibility. It is very important that healthy guys be recruited to the army. We investigate recruit’s family situation, his education, have separate talks with him presenting the army life distinctly and in detail. So our youth go to the army already informed.
