The efforts of our country and our Armed Forces in joining NATO structures, as well as the reforms promoted to affirm the values of democracy, the consolidation of state and market economy structures, represent the solid assurance of our objective accomplishment: European Union structure integration. Our place among the European countries will depend upon the manner in which we will respect our international commitments, as well as our commitment to the Romanian citizens. We must certify, one more time, that we are a dignified and responsible people. Through the daily accomplishments, land forces militaries have proved to be ready to meet all their objectives and missions in a professional manner, turning into a solid force service, capable to respond to national requirements and to accomplish the international commitments we have assumed. Within the conscience of the Romanian people, armed forces remain the keeper of the state fundamental values, as well as an active and credible participant to multinational missions, to consolidate the global stability and security. Allways on duty, land forces militaries have constantly activated to develop the transformation process and accomplishment of professional structures, fully interoperable with NATO member nations. Through the participation in the international
missions, with more than 2,000 militaries, armed forces are a powerful promoter of the Romanian external politics. In this context, I would like to thank all the Romanian militaries that these days are abroad, far from the country and from the beloved ones, in the theatre areas of operations like Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iraq and Afghanistan. My deepest congratulations and respect for their courage, professionalism and their efforts to bring back hope for a better future to those affected by the tragedy of war. Also with this occasion, I realize with satisfaction that, any time our country - confronted to natural disasters - and state authorities relied on the armed forces, you, land forces militaries, have always answered, Present on duty. You have helped to removing the natural disasters effects provoked by the floods last year, by the earth flows on Olt Valley and also in fighting against the bird flu effects. For all these, please receive my warmest and sincere congratulations. In conclusion, I wish you success in your activities, many happy returns of the day and since the Land Forces Day is celebrated in this holy day of Jesus Christ resurrection, I wish you and your families Happy Easter! H TRAIAN BASESCU President of Romania

The military of the Land Forces who serve under the national colors in missions abroad have won honor and prestige because of their professionalism and of their respect and humanitarian relations regarding the local people. Each time our country was put in difficulty by the natures hardships, you together with your colleagues from other force services, answered promptly and with professionalism when requested, both directly helping for saving the affected people, using your own equipment, and participating in unblocking the communication ways. Process of transformation within the Land Forces knows new valences. Giving up the compulsory military service represents an important stage in the process of rendering a professional army.

The Message of the Chief of the General Staff on the Occasion of the Land Forces Day Anniversary
e celebrate, by tradition, on the Land Forces Day, Saint Martyr George, the victory bearer, the spiritual patron of the military that serve their country under the colours of this important service of Romanias Armed Forces. Choosing this day represents the solid proof of continuity and rationality of the two basic institutions existence: the Church and the Armed Forces that protect both the spirit and the peace and stability of the Romanian people. The Land Forces Day coincided with the holy day of our orthodox faith, day with solid spiritual ad moral signification, sealed by the sacrifice of the Son of God for the forgiveness of the human kind sins. It is the moment when we think about the military activities of those who gave their lives for the defense of the Romanian people and the liberation of the national territory under foreign occupation. We have to praise with gratitude the heroes who died on duty and to give our respects for the war veterans who served with faith and honoured the nation and the Romanian State.
April 2006
We congratulate todays generation, and on this occasion we express, once again, the joy and satisfaction for the success due to this celebration. Nowadays, we may say that the Land Forces of the Romanian Armed Forces are a force service well defined and individualized, in an ongoing modernization process, characterized by viability, mobility and the capacity to perform the entire range of specific missions for the national and collective defense, peace and humanitarian support. The dedication and professionalism of the combatants from your structure are recognized and appreciated by our allies in the theatres of operations from the Western Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. 2006 is the year when the Romanian Land Forces will enlist conscripts for the last time. Giving up the compulsory military service marks, starting with the 1st of January 2007, the full integration of the Romanian Armed Forces. I am convinced that we will succeed in drawing in young men who will contribute
to increasing our human resource quality. The human potential, as well as the accomplished missions efficiency offer the Land Forces the strength to entail respect and trust everywhere in the world. I am convinced that each of you military or civilian will act for the accomplishment of the functional responsibilities so that our nation could work in peace. I take advantage of this occasion to say thank you to all of you officers, civilians, enlisted personnel, students, pupils, conscripts for the good way in which you have accomplished your duty and to wish you professional and personal success, health and a happy family life. May you bear in your soul the faith and conviction that Saint Martyr George will guide our efforts towards victory! May God help us! Happy Easter!

In accordance with our tradition, on the 23rd April, the day of the Great Martyr Saint George, we celebrate Romanian Land Forces Day. This year, happily, our anniversary coincides with the Holy Sunday of Easter, a day in which each Christian seeks for inner peace and comfort, even for only few moments. It is a moment in which we cherish our predecessors and comrades and do not forget to pray for those fallen at duty, either during the wars in which we have gained our national identity, or far from the country, in peacekeeping and peace reinforcement missions.
April 2006
Also, this is a great opportunity for me to address my warmest thanks to all those that have skillfully contributed, with efforts and responsibility so that Romanian Land Forces accomplish their objectives and missions, in an efficient and professional manner, to become a solid force service, capable to answer to our national security requirements, as well as to accomplish the international commitments that we have assumed. In our hearts, we remain close to our colleagues from whom we had to separate, as a consequence of the inevitable transformation and
restructuring process. Thank you, my dear comrades! The same thoughts also go to the families of our militaries, for their support, understanding and patience that they have proved each time the complex missions kept their beloved ones far from their homes. We are now under full land forces transformation process, a difficult one, which we cannot complete unless we are together and in the spirit of virtues that have guided us during time: cohesion, courage, initiative and teamwork. In a future context we will face a new challenge, another kind of mission
