"Headlight"
Battalion communications chief
"In civilian life, I worked for years as an embedded programmer: I designed circuits, wrote low-level code for microcontrollers and created radio protocols. When I came to 3MB, my engineering background became my main advantage. Today, I am the chief of the battalion's communications — this is not a step back, but a colossal responsibility. I am responsible for the resiliency of the entire system, from the secure MESH radio networks and repeaters at ground zero to the satellite channels and crypto-protection that keep unit control under dense enemy EW. Digital and engineering knowledge here saves the lives of soldiers every day."

"Kepler"
Electronic document management system operator
“In civilian life I wrote code and as a hobby created Wikipedia articles about circuits and electronics. Many still think of the army as a red tape, but today's battalion is a digital ecosystem. I work as an operator of the electronic document management system (EDM) and information databases. Going through battle orders, record keeping, logistics, and situational reporting all require systems thinking, algorithmic precision, and iron-fisted attention to detail. Here, my IT skills ensure that the entire organization of the battalion operates without delays and loss of information."

"Tequila"
Staff Planning Section Officer (S3)
"In civilian life, I was a senior bartender, and at the university I once graduated from the military department. Working at the counter gave me tremendous stress resistance, the ability to act in conditions of unpredictable chaos, instantly communicate with different people and coordinate the team at peak loads. In 3MB, it was combined with the knowledge of the military department. Currently, I serve as the headquarters planning officer: I coordinate rotation schedules, group departures, logistics corridors, and inter-company interaction. Unexpected civilian experience turned out to be an ideal base for staff work."
