On 5th–6th October, Maj.-Gen. János Huszár, Commander, HDF Joint Force Command and SWO Tibor Négyesi, Command Sergeant Major, HDF Joint Force Command paid a visit to the Balkans Joint Operation Area (JOA).

The major-general’s program started with his arrival on the Manjaca training grounds, where he observed the closing phase of Exercise OPREH LEVEL 2, and was briefed about the Hungarian soldiers’ tasks. Currently several Hungarian servicemembers are participating in the exercise, most of them serving in staff positions in the headquarters of the Multinational Battalion (MNBN). The exercise provided them with excellent opportunities to demonstrate their readiness level in an international environment, and gain experience for successful cooperation. The personnel of the Reception, Staging and Onward Movement (RSOM) team of the HDF EUFOR Contingent was supporting the effective execution of logistic tasks all along.
