The third rotation of the Hungarian Defence Forces Force Protection Platoon (HUN FPP-3) has returned to its home station in Hungary, the Hódmezővásárhely garrison of the HDF 5th “Bocskai István” Infantry Brigade. In his speech delivered at the homecoming ceremony, Brigade Commander Brig.-Gen Attila Takács welcomed the troops returning from the area of operations in Afghanistan.

The commander thanked the families for their support to the contingent, as they ensured a stable background that the soldiers serving at remote countries need in order to be able to concentrate on the execution of their tasks. In his speech, he pointed out that “after their responsible service, the most important thing to all homecoming servicemembers is to reintegrate into everyday life, so that the family members can be together again and face the day-to-day challenges as one. However, after your well-deserved rest, the Brigade counts on your work, and the commanders request you to share the lessons learned in the area of operations.

HUN FPP-3 Leader 1st Lt. András Sári told us that “I’m proud of my tight-knit team, together we were able to successfully deal even with unexpected situations. The most important thing is that we have successfully accomplished our mission, and everyone has returned home safe and sound."

In recognition of the work done by the soldiers during the mission, acting on the proposal of their superior commanders, the Chief of Defence rewarded several members of the contingent on the occasion of completing their tour abroad. 1st Lt. András Sári received a memorial coin for his outstanding performance in the international peace support mission. Acting on the proposal of their superior commanders, in recognition of their outstanding performance in the HUN FPP, the commander of the HDF Joint Force Command awarded tokens of appreciation to WO Csaba Farkas, SFC László Baranyi and CPL András Attila Jagos, and a memorial certificate to CPL István Mag.
