The Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that 70% of combat-capable staff from the Military Recruitment Centers have been sent to the front

In 2024–2025, 70% of able-bodied employees of Ukraine’s Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TRC and SSC) without medical restrictions were sent to the front lines.

This was stated by Colonel Vitalii Tkachenko, Head of the Personnel Department at the Headquarters of the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), according to the publication Glavkom.

According to Tkachenko, the process of replacing healthy military commissars with wounded soldiers began in the fall of 2024. Currently, an average of 50% of TRC personnel across the country are considered only partially fit for duty.

“Almost everyone in the TRC who is fully fit has been sent to the front line,” the AFU confirmed.

Another 20% of TRC staff are civilian employees who are not subject to military service. They work as cooks, accountants, lawyers, and in other support roles.

As for the heads of the TRCs, 85% of them have also served at the front.

“With regard to the heads of TRC and SSC, since the beginning of the war, all of them without exception have been replaced. According to the Ground Forces Command, 85% of the newly appointed leaders have served in combat units and have frontline experience,” the report says.

Since the exact number of military personnel working in the TRCs is classified, the Armed Forces of Ukraine disclosed proportions rather than specific figures.

As a reminder, a military commissar from Zaporizhzhia recently claimed that working in a TRC is harder than fighting on the front line.
