These battalion-level units are declared to allied operations (as a NATO Command Force/NATO-assigned force) and are placed under the command of the NATO Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE). The Hungarian Defence Forces Infantry Battle Group (HDF IBG) is based on the 62nd infantry battalion of the brigade, its command group, staff and subunits.
Maj. László Deme, the designated commander of the HDF IBG reported on the plans that have been drawn up so far, the requirements and the main dates in the schedule of the training period, then went on talking about the training-related tasks and their planned venues.
At the following panel sessions, the participants discussed in detail the system of training and the problems that have arisen. Brig.-Gen. Dr. Gábor Böröndi, the commander of the brigade specified the main tasks related to the evaluation, and declared the upcoming CREVAL, which is due to take place in fall 2012, a priority of the year.
