CBRN active reservists return to Training Centre Lešť after year

Part I of training for the active reservists who have reported to the CBRN Defence Battalion Rožňava, located in the Gemer-Malohont region, will culminate at the Training Centre Lešť. According to Unit Commander Lt Col Oliver Toderiška, 14 active reservists have joined the programme. In the past, some of them attended Voluntary Military Training (VMT), others passed through compulsory military service, and some used to serve as active duty soldiers.

On the Active Reserves training programme, Lt Col Oliver Toderiška said: “After last year’s initial experience with the training of active reservists in our unit, we adapted the training programme for them. During Week 1, they will review their all-arms skills at the Training Centre Lešť. During Week 2, alongside marksmanship, tactics and other types of training, they will undergo specialist training at the Training and Testing Centre Zemianske Kostoľany. They will work with training chemical substances under the leadership of experienced instructors and section members of our Battalion.”

Over the course of the training programme, active reservists will familiarise themselves with specialist CBRN equipment, material, protective equipment, and the entire system and activities of the CBRN Battalion. After the end of training all active reservists will receive the CBRN Defence Certificate of Training.
