Capable Logistician 2015

State Secretary of SVK MOD Miloš Koterec attended the international military exercise Capable Logistician 2015, which has been held on 1 – 26 June on the premises of the training center Bakony, Hungary. Nearly 1 800 troops with more than 550 pcs of equipment take part in the exercise. “Such large international exercises are the best way to verify abilities to cooperate and share the allied capabilities and partner capabilities, since the troops gain military tactical skills and get invaluable experience they can draw on later in multinational operations,” said the State Secretary.  In the exercise, Slovakia is represented by 48 members of the SVK Armed Forces. According to 2nd Deputy Chief of the General Staff Maj Gen Pavel Macko, the exercise whose tradition was established 2 years ago in Slovakia, is viewed as particularly significant for the whole Alliance and for the Partners. It is aimed at testing and enhancing interoperability in the field of logistic support, not only as to the technical interoperability of the equipment and devices but also as to the procedural and operational interoperability of logistic units and staffs. Altogether 32 NATO and Partner countries take part in the exercise.
