Artillerymen of the Michalovce-based Self-propelled Field Artillery (FA) Battalion and the Rožňava-based Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Battalion will descend on Germany’s Grafenwoehr Training Area (GTA) and Poland’s Torun Artillery and Armaments Training Centre (AATC), to take part in Ex Dynamic Front 2019. The international exercise series is scheduled to run from 25 February to 10 March 2019.
During the two-week exercise, 125 members of the SVK Armed Forces, deploying with 6 pcs of the ZUZANA Self-propelled Gun Howitzers (SpGH) and additional support equipment, will join in with other artillery troops from Allied nations, to practise fire support capabilities in the formation of the Theatre Surface Fires Command (TSFC).
Speaking ahead of the exercise, Lt Col Roman Bobaľ, commander of the deploying unit and the Michalovce-based Self-propelled Field Artillery (FA) Battalion, said: “This opportunity to practise firing tasks in the formation of Allied troops is exceptionally beneficial.”
The aim of the exercise is to prepare the artillery unit for its deployment on NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) role, due in 2020. At the same time, it is an opportunity for members of its command staff to join in with their fellow colleagues at TSFC and cooperate in the fields of fire control, operational planning and intelligence.
