Day of food and clothing service of the Armed Forces

February 18, Sunday

The Day of Food and Clothing Service of the Armed Forces of Russia is celebrated annually on February 18. This professional holiday was established to recognize the important contribution of workers responsible for providing military personnel with food, clothing, footwear and other necessary items.

History of the holiday
The date of February 18 was chosen in honor of the creation of special services in the Red Army in 1918, when a decree of the Council of People's Commissars on the supply of the armed forces with food and uniforms was issued. Over time, supply services have undergone many changes and have become an important part of the army's logistical support.

On the Day of Food and Clothing Service, units and subdivisions hold ceremonial events and award ceremonies, where particularly distinguished employees are rewarded for their work and contribution to providing the army.
