On 28 – 30 January, the 4th edition of an international competition for rescue teams dubbed Terrorism and Migration – Lešť 2016 took place at Lešť Training Centre. Among 40 competing teams was also Gemer-Malohont CBRN Battalion Rožňava.
Before the competition started, a specialized international conference was conducted in Pliešovce. The participants received information about the SVK Armed Forces tasks in dealing with migration and terrorism, about medical risks, experience gained at Wien-based refugee camp, the course of constructing a tent camp on the territory of Slovakia, responses to a terrorist attack, and about concrete occasions during which mass and emergency situations occurred. A part of the conference was a ceremony during which SSgt A. Adamko was awarded the “Andrej Faglic, MD Plaque” for rescuing injured personnel from a helicopter that crashed in Kabul.
The initial night stage of the competition tested orientation skills of the participants and cooperation between medical incident commanders, the shelter for injured persons, the evacuation coordinator, and the triage commander operating after an explosion in an asylum house. During the day stage, the rescue teams built a shelter for injured persons, performed a computer simulation of a train-bus crash, and remotely directed the triage using a radio station. In different scenario environments, they dealt with a bus-car crash, a suicidal blast in the subway, a train derailment, as well as an explosion in a public transport.
The simulated tasks tested cooperation between various teams of the SVK Armed Forces, the Firefighting and Rescue Corps, the Red Cross, and the Rapid Medical Aid Service. In the SVK Armed Forces category, victory was claimed by SSgt Andrej Adamko and SSgt Jiří Poul. The rescue team of the CBRN Battalion Rožňava – Sgt Andrea Ševčovičová and Cpl Dušan Lacko – finished second, and the third place was taken by the SVK AF team.
The CBRN Battalion provided the event with heated decontamination tents for the competition’s crisis staff and prepared meals in the field kitchen.
