One of the main priorities of the MOD leadership is to improve the infrastructures of military units with a view to bettering the Service conditions for SVK Armed Forces members, including enabling more effective delivery of domestic crisis management tasks. This statement was made by Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď who, joined by State Secretary of the SVK Ministry of Defence Marian Majer and Chief of Defence Gen Daniel Zmeko, visited Headquarters 1st Mechanised Brigade Topoľčany (HQ 1st Mech Bde TO) and Logistic Support Battalion Hlohovec (Log Sup Bn HC).
Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď said: "Over the past weeks we have witnessed how indispensable it is for our armed forces to have everything they need in accomplishing assigned tasks. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic they have played a crucial role in domestic crisis management and made a considerable contribution to the fight against the infection. Also for this reason, I would like to say "Thank You" to all servicemen and women for their dedication and for handling the whole situation so brilliantly." As one of many examples where the military makes a difference, the Minister explained that Log Sup Bn HC service members have transported medical supplies to the warehouses of the State Material Reserves Administration and ensured their subsequent distribution to individual hospital facilities across Slovakia.
The mission of 1st Mech Bde TO is to partake in executing duties in defence of the Slovak Republic, including in the delivery of commitments under international agreements. If required, the Brigade members participate in maintaining public order and national security. Log Sup Bn HC is tasked with providing complex logistical support across the whole of Slovakia, including the provision of support to the state administration bodies in leading non-military assistance operations.
