The pre-military preparatory programs are volunteering for national missions across the country.

The program participants immediately halted their studies and turned to assist in cleaning shelters,

packing food parcels, staffing urban situation rooms, conducting engagement activities for youth and the elderly, assisting in hospitals, and wherever help is needed.

The program participants are defined as an essential enterprise during an emergency, and before commencing their activities, they receive approval from the delayed enlistment situation room, which operates jointly with the Ministry of Defense (the Social Security Administration)
