Mobile brigade gets new commander
Colonel Yevgeny Zaichenko has replaced Lieutenant Colonel Valery Sakhashchik as commander of the 38th Guards Red Banner Detached Mobile Brigade based in Brest.
General Major Lyutsian Surint, first deputy commander of the Belarusian Land Froces, introduced the new brigade commander to the personnel on August 20. Mr. Sakhashchik was in charge of the brigade for more than three years. The officially declared reason for his
discharge is ill health, although he is known to have extraordinary stamina. Several years ago, he set up a special competition for the title of Black Eagle among army and police officers and was one of the first to pass all the trials.The Brigade's staff decline to comment.
