In the framework of the series of exercises Operation Atlantic Resolve, a joint training is carried out by the personnel assigned from the Hungarian Defence Forces (HDF) in the Bakony Hills. In his address given at the training, David B. Cornstein, – evoking his own military service -, said that everybody had to do national service in America in those days, and he “was not really looking forward to this, but those years prepared him for many things."

“On behalf of Mr. President Donald Trump I would like to express our sincere appreciation to those people, who choose the military service as their career. There has been a longstanding military co-operation between our country and Hungary, and it is very fruitful. The further successful co-operation is one of the guarantees of our collective security. You should be proud of the Hungarian soldiers" – said the Ambassador.

Brigadier General Zsolt Sándor, Land Forces Chief and Deputy Commander of the HDF Joint Forces Command noted that it is exactly twenty-five years now, that our special forces established contacts with the Ohio National Guard. He recalled that the pinnacle of the capability development and collaboration between the Hungarian and US special forces was the enforcement of the Afghanistan operations.

“In the past three years this armoured reconnaissance regiment has regularly carried out military exercises, mainly with the Infantry Brigade of Tata. Of course, the co-operation will continue in the future, too – we plan several joint exercises, such as for example. the exercise Brave Warrior, to start in the fall" – Brigadier General pointed out.
