The goal is professional life-saving
Text: First Lieutenant Kristóf Kovács | Photo: by the author |  11:04 February 13, 2026This week, combat lifesaver (CLS) soldiers of the 33rd rotation of the HDF KFOR Contingent (KFOR Tactical Reserve Battalion, KTRBN) tested their skills in the fields of marksmanship, stretcher-bearing, treating casualties and intravenous access. The competition imitated an active combat environment, and, of course, was preceded by lengthy academic training and practical instruction, during which the CLS soldiers of the subunits had opportunity to brush up and deepen the knowledge they had acquired earlier.

The competition was expressly aimed at simulating stress situations so that the CLS soldiers can demonstrate their professional preparedness in treating their wounded comrades and their problem-solving skills by carrying out realistic tasks in an imitated battlefield situation even under pressure.
