During the three-week program, students of the Reserve Officer Training Corps program are teaching English to the designated personnel of the Hungarian Defence Forces.
In the first days of the visit, central cultural programs were organized for the US participants of the CULP program, who were introduced to the sights and history of Budapest, given a taste of Hungarian cuisine, shown around in Parliament building and saw quality exhibitions in the MoD Institute and Museum of Military History. They had opportunity to see the natural scenery of the Danube bend and met the officer cadets of the HDF Ludovika Battalion.
According to plans, in the next period the CULP groups of students are going to visit the HDF 5th “Bocskai István" Infantry Brigade in Hódmezővásárhely, the HDF 59th “Szentgyörgyi Dezső" Air Base in Kecskemét and the HDF 54th Veszprém Radar Regiment and the HDF Air Command and Control Centre in Veszprém.
