The Aliante 2014 international civil defence and sporting competition was held from 30 June to 5 July in the Training Centre Lešť. Its main purpose was to raise students’ awareness about history, geography, politics and, above all, security issues and NATO.
The competition’s finals were held in Slovakia for the second time. Boys and girls from Montenegro, Lithuania, Croatia, Slovakia, Canada, Turkey, Poland, Georgia and the Czech Republic were split into 15 teams and had to overcome the CISM obstacle course, get through a water obstacle range on boats and run while wearing helmets and protective vests. Other events waiting for students to overcome included a shooting simulator, the Jakub climbing simulator, a cross-country run, rock climbing, getting through a waterway as well as a knowledge contest and topographical and health training courses. The team composed of Slovak and Georgian members won the competition, the Czech-Croatian team finished second and the Georgian-Croatian squad got the third place.
Winners can look forward to an interesting excursion trip across Germany. They will get to know the country as well as its Armed Forces. Besides members of the Training Centre Lešť, the competition was prepared also by representatives of the General Staff of the SVK Armed Forces and members of the Levice-based Mechanized Battalion and Martin-based Training Battalion.
