The second phase of the pre-deployment training which is being conducted in the Hódmezővásárhely garrison of the HDF 5th ‘Bocskai István’ Infantry Brigade recently concluded with a target practice for the soldiers preparing for the KFOR-8 mission. The contingent is based on the troops of the Operations Support Engineer Battalion of Hódmezővásárhely, who are augmented with the small subunits located in Hajdúhadház.

After the individual training, the second phase started with a trade training for various special tasks. During the preparation the motor vehicle drivers took their classification exams and compulsory driving practices. In addition to the medical specialists, the designated personnel also took part in the Combat Lifesaver Course. The soldiers serving with the infantry battalion were training in realistic situations for the use of smalls arms which are the standard equipment in the mission as well.

In the third phase, a main element of the training for executing the core duties of KFOR is the rehearsal of crowd riot control (CRC) actions, because the Hungarian peacekeepers may be assigned tasks like this in the area of operations.

At the end of November the contingent will conduct a culmination exercise (CULEX) to demonstrate their skills in using the CRC methods and executing the different tasks.
