“STEADFAST JAZZ 2013 is a breakthrough exercise, during which the NATO countries jointly train and practice their skills and capabilities in the field of defence, interoperability and deployment, be that in the Allied countries or in the third countries within the international crisis management,” stated the State Secretary of the Ministry of Defence of the SR Miloš Koterec, who in the Polish training area Drawsko – Pomorskie attended dynamic demonstrations. “I am glad to see that this exercise bears a testimony to the fact that the Armed Forces of the SR are highly professional and as such they will become a part of the NATO Response Force (NRF) 2014,” he concluded. He reminded that this was the first NATO exercise that would implement the requirements posed by the Connected Forces Initiative, i. e. maintaining the degree of interoperability and capabilities of the Alliance gained in ISAF, Afghanistan.
The exercise was held mainly on the territory of Poland, with contribution of Latvia and the Headquarters in France. 6,000 soldiers from 17 NATO countries, Sweden, Finland and Ukraine participated in the exercise. Also the members of the multinational Chemical, biological and radiological defence battalion took part in the exercise. Our Land Forces were represented by 23 soldiers, one of them in the command post in Latvia. They provided the special capabilities for the multinational CBR battalion under the French command.
Equally, the members of the Deployable Communications and Information Systems Module (DCM C) from Ružomberok took part in this largest ever allied exercise of the NATO Response Force.
