The various training sessions were going on non-stop in the military training area.
The convoys were a beautiful sight, being made up of kilometer-long columns of different combat vehicles heading for various points of the training area. Some contingents stayed in their forward positions for days before returning to the base set up near Veszprém.
The photos below offer a glimpse into the everyday life of the military camp built by US and Dutch service personnel. While in the camp, we saw a lot of land vehicles, with the Black Hawk and Apache helicopters of the US military behind them, which were stationary or just preparing for take-off.
