Scouts train to navigate around submerged obstacles
The Army scouts are being trained to navigate around submerged obstacles using regular and improvised vessels on rivers, canals and lakes in the areas outside peacetime locations.
The training is part of regular training activities undertaken by reconnaissance units in summer, and is carried out in order to maintain a high level of readiness for executing unit-specific tasks in the depth of the enemy formation.In this segment of the training, new unit members are being taught to build vessels from improvised materials, from choosing the material for the construction of a raft and calculating the load, to the construction of the vessel itself, which will enable the crew to complete the mission successfully without revealing the position of the unit.
During the training, the scouts also practice camouflage, patrolling, covering tracks, carrying out a diversion, and collecting intelligence about the enemy and the situation in the area using modern observation devices.
Reconnaissance units’ training is carried out throughout the year, on different types of terrain throughout the country and in all weather conditions, so that the scouts serving in the Serbian Armed Forces are always ready to carry out their tasks in accordance with the unit’s mission and purpose.
