An international CBRN exercise, involving armed forces from the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and the United States of America, is running on 1-14 April 2019 at the Training Centre Lešť and the CBRN Training and Testing Centre Zemianske Kostoľany.
Commander of the CBRN Battalion Rožňava Lt Col Oliver Toderiška expressed his satisfaction as the quality of the exercise improves gradually, attracting more international partners. “Besides CZE and POL CBRN specialists, taking part in the exercise this year are also representatives of the Indiana and Texas National Guards and United States Army Europe. Next year we would like to expand the training audience by inviting a HUN CBRN platoon. Its representative is participating as an observer in this year’s exercise.”
Over 300 troops from 4 countries are attending the exercise. Members of the Texas National Guard have enriched others with their skills and capabilities for search and rescue operations in collapsed buildings during natural disasters.
According to Lt Col Toderiška, among the most frequently used training facilities at the Training Centre Lešť are Jakub Village Range, Water Obstacle Range, and Oremland for fighting in built-up areas (FIBUA).
While exercising at the unique CBRN Training and Testing Centre Zemianske Kostoľany, CBRN specialists have honed their knowledge and skills in CBRN detection, analysis and decontamination and undergone basic specialist training with live chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and advanced specialist training with live CWAs.
