"Full Field Kit" is back

The once popular ʻFull Field Kitʼ radio programme is coming back after a 6-year break, having made it into the radio broadcasting programmes portfolio. Already launched with its first broadcast on 13 January, from 21:05 to 21:35 local time listeners to the Slovak Radio's station Radio Regina were able to receive information on the activities of the SVK Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence. Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš is convinced that the radio programme will regain its popularity levels it once enjoyed in the past.

After 6 years, Full Field Kit has an ambition to regain its favour with listeners of different age groups. The public broadcaster Slovak Radio will create a space for channelling information on the wide spectrum of activities undertaken by the Ministry of Defence and the SVK Armed Forces in defence of the Slovak Republic, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and on adopted domestic crisis management measures. The repeat of Full Field Kit will be aired at 23:30 local time on Saturday.

The radio programme will feature regular sections on training and deployment of troops at home and abroad. Part of the programme's time slot will be assigned to discussions on topical issues, some of which will be dedicated to military history. Additionally, Full Field Kit will inform of Defence personnel's exceptional achievements, seek to promote patriotism, and raise the citizens' awareness of national defence issues. Finally, it will provide up-to-date information for those interested in active duty service or those who want to join the Voluntary Military Training project and the Active Reserves.
