Two SVK Armed Forces members are already working in Latvia, where they are preparing the ground for the deployment of a SVK Mechanised Company-sized unit along with essential support as part of NATO's enhanced Forward Presence (eFP). The Slovak Republic is planning to dispatch a total of 152 personnel to Latvia in two rotations over the coming two years.
On the subject of NATO eFP, Minister of Defence Peter Gajdoš said: “Through our contribution to eFP in Latvia we are making a clear statement that we are a stable partner on the international scene.”
The SVK liaison officers have been serving in Latvia under the command of Canada since 15 November 2017. Their task is to contribute to the deployment process through their expertise on the area of deployment, with one officer posted to the Operations Section and the other one working in the Logistics Section at eFP BG HQ. The SVK military is currently in the phase of preparing and planning the final structure of its force contribution.
