As part of its efforts to improve communication with reservists and national guardsmen, the National Guard has introduced a digital application for sending notifications via SMS to their mobile phones.

These messages will concern:

a. A reminder, sent one month in advance, of the date of the upcoming scheduled presentation.

b. An emergency call to participate in a field training exercise (TAMS), which will not exceed one hour.

c. The obligation to complete Mobilisation Registration.

1. To avoid these messages being classified as “unwanted” (spam), the sender’s identity will appear as “ARMY CY.”
2. Reservists and national guardsmen who do not receive messages may have incorrect or inactive contact details in the mobilisation database. In such cases, they must contact the Unit or Mobilisation Section responsible for their records in order to verify and update their information.
3. If someone receives a message by mistake, the SMS will include a contact telephone number so that their details can be corrected in the mobilisation system.
4. It is reminded that a reservist is considered “properly registered for mobilisation” only if they are in possession of their Individual Call-Up Order (FAP) for the current year, or if the reasons for the temporary suspension of their reserve service remain valid.
5. When reporting to Units or Mobilisation Sections, reservists and national guardsmen must bring:

a. Their identity card or any other official document issued by the Republic proving their identity.

b. Their Special Travel Order.
