Infantry personnel training
The 4th Army Brigade infantry battalion armed with "Lazar 3" AFVs is undergoing intensive training in carrying out combat actions on defensive and offensive operations.
The training activity, which is taking place at the exercise area and in the unit’s peacetime stations, aims to improve the personnel’s ability to use critical weapons, i.e., to increase their overall ability to accomplish the assigned missions and tasks.
At the training ground, soldiers and officers are practicing the tactics and operations on the battlefield using armoured fighting vehicles whose introduction into service has significantly improved the mobility, firepower and protection of infantry units on operations. This training is also an opportunity for them to build on their existing knowledge of the vehicle’s (sub) systems, weapons and maintenance.
In the forthcoming period, members of the infantry battalion will conduct tactical exercises and live fire practices, which will be an opportunity to test the training effectiveness.
This type of training helps infantry battalions meet the operational capability requirements needed for all-weather and all-terrain actions. It also helps infantry personnel gain confidence in the reliability and efficiency of modern combat assets used by these units.
