Colonel Tamás Sándor Appointed Deputy Chief of Staff
Szöveg: MoD Press Office | 2013. január 18. 17:00As from January 15, Col. Tamás Sándor, the commander of the Hungarian Defence Forces Special Operations Contingent fills the position of deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence at the headquarters of Task Force 10, which directs the special operations forces (SOF) units in Afghanistan.
In this position, he will be operations commander of the special operations which are currently under way in seven provinces. His mandate runs for six months.
Since last November, the Hungarian special operations forces – which deployed to
Afghanistan in 2009 – have been augmented with two teams and a staff element so that
they can execute the tasks of training the SOF units of the Afghan National Security Forces
(ANSF).
The request to carry out this mission also shows the international appreciation of Hungary’s
capability which has been built up in just a few years.
