Individual training within the Training Command is primarily conducted through basic and specialist training of soldiers on voluntary military service, professional soldiers, candidates for non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers, cadets of the Military Academy and students of the Secondary Military Vocational School, members of the reserve component of the Territorial Forces and other Serbian Armed Forces units, and, if needed, personnel from civilian institutions of the Republic of Serbia and members of foreign armed forces. The Training Command also conducts professional development for all categories of personnel (from professional soldiers to officers, both active and reserve), following needs and approved plans. Today, in addition to training centers, the Training Command includes territorial brigades, training grounds, and shooting ranges.
Brigadier General Dragiša Zlatković is the commander of the Training Command.
In peacetime, the composition of the Training Command forms the core of the Territorial Forces in wartime. It is responsible for preparing the Territorial Forces for mobilization and enhancing their operational capabilities.
The Training Command is headquartered in Belgrade, while the training centers and territorial brigades are located in Sombor, Pančevo, Jakovo, Valjevo, Zaječar, Kruševac, Leskovac, Požarevac, Batajnica, Niš, and Gornji Milanovac.
In the training centers, general military training and military-specialist education is organized and conducted for members of the Serbian Armed Forces across all ranks, from soldiers to officers, as well as for members of other defense forces. Training for members of foreign armies is also possible.
The Training Command was established on April 23, 2007, from parts of the units of the Operational Forces, Land Forces, and Air Force and Air Defense. This resulted in the unification of seven territorial basic training centers and five specialist training centers for branches, services, and corps (Land Forces, Air Force and Air Defense, CBRN, logistics, signal, and IT).
The Day of the Training Command is observed on January 15, in memory of the date in 1883 when the Law on Army Organization was enacted, which regulated recruitment, the assignment of soldiers to military service, and their transition to the reserve component.
