CMX 2016 –Annual NATO Crisis Management Exercise
Szöveg: Ministry of Defence | 2016. március 9. 15:00NATO is conducting a strategic crisis management exercise with Hungary’s active participation. During the Crisis Management Exercise (CMX), which is taking place between 9 and 16 March, the participants – NATO allies as well as Finland and Sweden –are rehearsing, first of all, the decision-making procedures. The response given to the events of a crisis scenario occurring in a fictitious geographical environment does not involve any deployed military forces or assets.
The objective of the exercise is to rehearse NATO crisis management procedures at the strategic-political level by involving staffs of civilian and military experts in Allied capitals, at the NATO Headquarters and both strategic commands. A further objective is to rehearse consultation and collective decision-making procedures and to demonstrate the collective defence capability of NATO member states in the face of unconventional security challenges (hybrid warfare threats). The participants are going to practice how to introduce the NATO Crisis Response Measures (CRM) and operate the National Inventory of Measures.
Hungary is participating in NATO’s consultation and decision-making process and rehearsing domestic civilian and military crisis management mechanisms through countering conflict-related threats to the country.
NATO has organized Crisis Management Exercises since 1992, and the one in this year is the 20th iteration. Hungary has been a participant of CMXs since its accession to NATO in 1999.
