Infantry Company undergoes pre-deployment training
An infantry company of the 1st Army Brigade, designated to contribute to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), has begun a training cycle prior to its deployment to this Middle Eastern country.
During the first stage of preparations that last for several months, professional soldiers and officers serving in this unit undergo tactical, firearms and physical training to refresh their knowledge and skills and get ready for collective training. Once they complete this training stage, they will be transferred to the "South" Base and "Borovac” Training Ground, where they will prepare for the missions awaiting them in the UNIFIL area of operations, where they will be working as part of the Spanish contingent.The final phase of preparations requires infantrymen to take part in a tactical exercise where the unit’s skills, interoperability and its overall readiness to participate in the peacekeeping operation will be evaluated.
The Serbian Armed Forces have been contributing a company-sized infantry unit to UNIFIL since 2013. Currently, Serbian staff officers, a force protection platoon and a National Support Element are also serving in this peacekeeping operation’s AO.
