Participants of the meeting discussed the status of different agreements existing between the Government of Hungary, Allied Command Transformation (ACT) and Allied Command Operations (ACO) that regulate host nation support to NATO operations, exercises and to similar military activities, as well as the special tasks and procedures of NFIU HUN.
On behalf of the Hungarian NFIU three briefings were given; COM NFIU HUN, Colonel László Garas presented the NFIU missions and basic tasks, and provided information on the development of the Hungarian NFIU milestones. Chief of operations, Lt. Col. Zoltán Németh informed participants about the purpose and tasks of the VJTF, while Lt. Col. Tibor Szabó, chief of logistics briefed about the execution of RSOM procedures and the aspects of host nation support.
Regarding the meeting, Colonel László Garas highlighted that establishing contact with other members of HIKOM and further cooperation is a priority for the Hungarian NFIU in shaping the interaction between the NATO organization and the host nation. Participation in this event was the first step in this regard, but the relationship between the different ministries playing a role in the system of the host nation support must and can still be drawn tighter in the future.
The participating specialists also clarified and discussed actual tasks in connection with the NATO Crisis Response Manual and forthcoming NATO exercises.
