During the long-range and combat reconnaissance exercise, the soldiers landed by parachute
in the area of designated bases. The mission-essential task list included route reconnaissance,
target reconnaissance, combat-like march, operation of a concealed lookout, survival, POW
capture, a raid carried out on a steep hillside terrain with silenced assault rifles as well as a
covert march.
The French senior officers and NCOs were posted to the teams as deputy commanders. As the
two countries’ relevant tactics are the same or very similar, cooperation and teamwork were
excellent. According to plans, the units will hold such combined training programs in the
future too.
