The final staff rehearsal forthe NATO Multinational Military Police Battalion (NATO MNMPBAT), ahead of Ex Sharp Lynx 2019 due in May 2019 in Croatia, took place on 25-29 March at the Simulation Centre, Gen Milan Rastislav Štefánik Armed Forces Academy in Liptovský Mikuláš.
NATO MNMPBAT is a grouping involving Military Police units from 4 countries: Czechia, Croatia, Poland and Slovakia. It emerged after the 2002 NATO Prague Summit, with Poland as the lead nation of the project. This year the Battalion is commanded by Maj Jaroslav Slančík, Chief of the Crisis Management Section, Training and Cynology Branch, Military Police Dept Vlkanová – Hronsek.
On the upcoming tasks of the NATO MNMPBAT, Battalion Commander Maj Slančík said: “Roughly 50 members of the Battalion staff from 4 countries are preparing documentation for Ex Sharp Lynx 2019. After the exercise in Croatia the NATO Multinational Military Police Battalion will undertake yet another test. This will happen in October as part of Ex Griffin Lightning II, organised by the Headquarters Multinational Corps Northeast (MNH NE) Szczecin, Poland.”
Maj Slančík does not rule out that the Battalion will be enlarged by another participating country, as accession talks with Georgia have been underway.
Taking part in the staff rehearsal in Liptovský Mikuláš was also Maj Jozef Šoltýs, SVK representative at the NATO Military Police Centre of Excellence (NATO MP COE) in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Four years ago he served as Commander NATO MNMPBAT.
