Minister J. Naď once again on away day trip to see soldiers, he visists supply base and speaks about novelties in ordering clothes, as well as receiving tour of munitions depot

Today (29 April 2021), Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď, Deputy Defence Minister Marian Majer and Chief of Defence Gen Daniel Zmeko visited supply and training bases, as well as receiving a tour of a munitions storage depot. Through their personal visits to individual SVK Armed Forces units, the MOD leadership wants to stay updated by soldiers on all aspects of the units and priorities and to keep track of the MOD's investments in infrastructure improvements over the past months.

Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď said: “I am pleased to see that over time in military units we come across positive news on what has been improved and repaired. Yet, there is a huge amount of work to be done in order to stabilise our troops – ranging from equipment, through to clothing and infrastructure.”

First, they visited the Supply Base Nemšová where they saw for themselves the state of clothing supplies for soldiers. “For this area, we set aside a lot more resources than in the past, whereas our effort is to innovate clothing articles and increase their availability to soldiers, partly thanks to the modernisation of the clothing issuance system. Under the new arrangements, soldiers will be able to order their clothes and shoes via a mobile phone application. We are working hard on this,” explained Minister Naď.

After that, they inspected the 5th Special Forces Regiment and the Special Operations Forces Training Base. There, Minister Naď was genuinely interested to get to know local needs and ways to improve the Service conditions and environment. Finally, he received a tour of the munitions storage depot in Rašov and made sure that all security and protection measures were in place and in order.
