International Week Ends Successfully

Among the courses organized by the HDF NCO Academy, the ongoing is the second one which is specially tailored to the needs of Hungarian senior enlisted leaders. The international week – which had already been very well received in Hungary and abroad last year – was arranged with the participation of senior enlisted leaders from NATO member countries, so these US, Canadian and German experts helped the students of the course by sharing their knowledge and experience with them.

Following a speech by the commandant of the NATO School Oberammergau, Brig.-Gen. József Szpisják, the commander of the HDF Training and Doctrine Centre closed the international week of the course. In his short speech, he pointed out that the NCO corps constitutes the backbone of the armed forces and the Alliance, adding that similar courses and lifelong learning play a very important role because the knowledge and skills their participants gain on them not only assist them in their career but also strengthen camaraderie, and it is known that well-trained men can perform better both in the theatre and in civilian life.

CSM István Kriston, the command sergeant major of the Hungarian Defence Forces gave a short summary, saying that the last one week was useful, rich in new information and knowledge, and had a very good atmosphere.
