Discord allows military personnel to quickly join group voice calls. The application of this platform was demonstrated in the command post of the Territorial Defense Forces. Discord was used for communication during exercises involving the Territorial Defense Force and the 26th River Boat Division.

Soldiers learned how to land a river landing and capture a designated bridgehead.

The Discord platform was also used by Ukrainian command posts during hostilities in Donbas. In March of this year, The New York Times published a photo featuring a Ukrainian command post that actively uses this platform for communication. Apparently, the military used Discord chats to create voice channels: to quickly connect with the entire battle group at different positions.

Presumably, the military uses special platforms to protect the server from hacking. They are compatible with Discord and allow to set up all users on your own server.
