Szöveg: László Szűcs | 2011. május 3. 10:05As of April 28, the HDF Operations and Doctrine Centre has taken over the tasks related to standardization and doctrine development from the Force Planning Directorate of the HDF Defence Staff. Lt-Gen. Zoltán Orosz, Deputy Chief of Defence was also present at the ceremony where the record of transfer was signed.
In his welcome speech, Lt-Gen. Zoltán Orosz emphasized that by integrating the tasks schemes related to doctrine, the analysis of lessons learned and the development of field manuals, the HDF created a new, but long-needed capability that can handle more efficiently the processing of NATO doctrines, STANAGs, allied publications and the related national documents. The Deputy Chief of the MoD Defence Staff added that the new structure is identical with the system used by our NATO allies.
After the ceremonial signing of the record of transfer, Brig-Gen. Mihócza noted that during the handover phase that had begun in January and ended in late April, they had managed to establish a good working relationship with the staff of the Operations and Doctrine Centre, which had accelerated the handover of the entire set of tasks and the management of current affairs.
The commander of the Operations and Doctrine Centre added that his aim is to develop an approach to doctrine production that will guarantee, through the analysis of lessons learned, that the Hungarian Defence Forces’ doctrine-based document system can function properly in national and international environments and adapt to their changes on a continuous basis. They have started the preparations for a conference on doctrine, the main objective of which is to introduce the top leadership of the HDF to the specifics of the tasks and functioning of doctrine development.
