Kosketinkenkä

Kosketinkenkä is a type of Finnish military reservist training program. The training is designed for members of the Finnish Defence Forces who need to maintain their skills and readiness for military service. The program is typically attended by reservists who have previously served in active duty roles and are now required to complete periodic training to remain in the reserve.

The purpose of kosketinkenkä training is to ensure that reservists are able to rapidly return to active duty in the event of a crisis or emergency. The training programs focus on updating the reservists' skills and knowledge in areas such as tactics, communications, and first aid. The training is typically conducted on a part-time basis, with sessions taking place over several weekends or weeks.

Reservists who participate in kosketinkenkä training typically have to meet certain requirements, such as maintaining their physical fitness and completing periodic medical check-ups. The training itself is typically led by experienced military instructors who use a combination of classroom instruction, field training, and simulation exercises to teach the skills and knowledge required of the reservists.

Kosketinkenkä training is an important part of the Finnish Defence Forces' efforts to maintain a highly trained and ready reserve force. By requiring reservists to periodically update their skills and knowledge, the Finnish military is able to ensure that its reservists are able to respond quickly and effectively in a crisis.
