This year’s first training for soldiers of the Active Reserves (AR) has got underway at the 21st Combined Mechanised Battalion base in Trebišov. Over the next two weeks they are undergoing training in mechanised trades, with particular focus on tactical training.
As well as exercising at Trebišov Garrison, active reservists will undertake training at the Lešť Training Centre. This year additional trade-specific training activities for active reservists are scheduled for 20-31 May 2019 at the CBRN Defence Battalion Rožňava, 10-21 June 2019 at the Engineer Battalion Sereď, and 10-21 June at the Military Police Department Vlkanová-Hronsek.
Those active reservists who undertake at least 75 percent of the annual training programme are eligible for a payment of €600, and provided that they are civilian employees, they are also eligible for a commensurate part of rank-based pay for the period of time spent on training or exercise. Moreover, they are entitled to free military clothing, reimbursement for travel costs incurred to and from the place of regular training or exercise or to and from the place of temporary assignment, as well as to compensation of salary as detailed in the Labour Code, which will be refunded to them via their employers. The same applies to the self-employed who will receive compensation for their business income. In both cases, the Ministry of Defence will refund social and health insurance premiums.
