Romania is conducting the MOBEX-26 mobilization exercises to verify the readiness and replenishment of human and material resources within national defense structures.

In mid-September, the 15th Mechanized Brigade ‘Podu Înalt’ held drills across Botoșani, Neamț, and Suceava counties. These activities focused on reservist training, equipment fitting, and live-fire exercises.

From October 5 to October 12, the Ministry of National Defence launched the MOBEX Bucharest-Ilfov 26 military exercise. This phase involves approximately 10,000 reservists residing in Bucharest and Ilfov County, who must report to designated military units for one-day training sequences. Mobilization orders for these participants are delivered by representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Under Law no. 446/2006, reservists are legally obligated to participate in these evaluation exercises. Furthermore, employers are required to grant employees one day of additional paid leave upon presentation of a certificate from the military center. The Ministry emphasized that these exercises are routine annual events and urged citizens to rely on official sources to avoid disinformation and false news.
