Military Police Active Reserves soldiers undergo training at MP Department Vlkanová – Hronsek

The Crisis Management, Training and Canine Branch, Police Department Vlkanová – Hronsek, is hosting a training programme for Military Police Active Reserves (MP AR) soldiers until 4 June 2021. A total of 23 reservists have joined the second MP AR training programme.

On the Active Reserves, Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď said: “I am very pleased that the current situation allows us to resume not only training activities across the SVK Armed Forces, but also the training of Active Reserves soldiers, because they can be helpful in emergencies as part of domestic crisis management.”

As part of the two-week MP AR course, the active reservists will familiarise themselves with the SVK Military Police's organisational structure and tasks. The training programme also includes marksmanship, incident response, and the use of MP technical equipment.

Active Reserves soldiers receive a motivational bonus of €600 for each calendar year, provided that they undergo at least 75% of the regular training required. Under current legislation, they are also entitled to a commensurate amount of rank-based military pay for the training period. As well as refunding the social payments and health insurance premiums, the MOD will reimburse the reservists′ salaries to their employers while on training and exercises, and so will the lost business income of the self-employed reservists.
