The Armed Forces of the PMR is 31 years old. The idea of ​​creating special formations that would protect the young republic from attacks from Moldova was voiced at the IV Congress of People's Deputies of all levels on September 2, 1991. The Supreme Council of the PMR adopted a resolution on the formation of the Republican Guard on September 6, 1991, which became the prototype of the current Armed Forces. The resolution was adopted on the enactment of the law "On the Republican Guard" on September 10. Protecting the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity of the republic, the rights and freedoms of its citizens - these are the main goals of the creation of the Republican Guard. They remain so to this day.

By the holiday date, the Ministry of Defense held a number of ceremonial events. Caserns were opened at the training center of the Ministry of Defense after repairs on September 5. Window and door blocks, electrical wiring, and plumbing have been completely replaced in the overhauled buildings. The territory of the training center has been put in order.
