According to him, the new version is an important step in the development of digital solutions for the Ukrainian military.
Adapted features will provide military personnel with access to current information about their service, updates, and necessary clarifications in a convenient electronic format.

The updates will concern the quality and convenience of using the application. In particular, during leave, military personnel will be able to submit leave requests without the need to travel to their commanders. Requests for health benefits will also be able to be processed electronically.
- Launch of Army ID for electronic defender's ID.
- Updated "Pulse" feed with important information.
- Automatic leave confirmation function without paper documents.

According to Banik, the updated services will be operational after December 22, providing military personnel with access to useful information and reducing the need for paper documents. This digitalization is becoming an important part of the development of military structures in Ukraine.
The Digital Defence Forum also announced the creation of a military IT vertical, which involves the introduction of 7,000 digital officers who will work in various commands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is an important step for improving the implementation of modern technologies in the military sphere.
