Territorial defence reservists on an international exercise

Following their domestic training, the infantrymen of the Hungarian rifle platoon performed their assigned peacekeeping tasks as part of a multinational company. Based on the issued operation order, the combat mission assigned to the Hungarian rifle platoon included guard and security duties of the battalion forward operating base, support to the rapid response forces of the battalion and the performance of cordon and search as well as patrolling tasks.

Between 9 and 21 June, the armed forces of nine countries were participating in the preparation conducted in the Borovac military training area. Organized by the Serbian Armed Forces, the exercise significantly contributed to increasing the training level of the Hungarian territorial defence reservists, as well as to the development of their cooperative skills in an international environment.

At the culmination exercise, the reservists carried out a nearly 40-minute-long uninterrupted phase to demonstrate the skills they had acquired during the two weeks. Hungary was represented at the closing event by Colonel András Polyák, Deputy Commander, HDF Territorial Defence Forces Command.
