Defence planning specialists from the Visegrad Group countries will gather on 14 – 16 April in Slovakia to follow through on the commitment to prepare the joint V4 EU BG. At the 8th planning conference, 60 representatives from partner countries will make a task performance evaluation and agree on a training plan for a certification exercise, codenamed Common Challenge 2015.
“The certification exercise, which will test the compatibility of troops to meet the needs of a joint engagement, is planned for the latter half of this year. That’s why still during our presidency we need to set everything so as to make the project a success,” said SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč.
As part of Slovakia’s overall contribution of 560 service personnel, those most represented will be a mechanized company, transportation company, Military Police unit, ammunition technicians, doctors and medical staff. The SVK Armed Forces will be the lead nation for chemical, radiological and biological (CBR) defence.
The V4 EU BG will be on stand-by from the first half of 2016. The training of the SVK component will be completed on 30 June 2015. Subsequently, the international training of the V4 EU BG will unfold until it culminates in the Common Challenge 2015 certification exercise.
