Rotation of Serbian contingent in EUTM Somalia
A regular rotation of Serbian contingent deployed in the European Union Training Mission in Somalia (EUTM Somalia) took place in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, this week.
Our contingent in EUTM Somalia consists of a staff officer serving as the chief of the mission’s medical service corps and a five-member medical team responsible for providing medical support to the training mission and primary health care to multinational forces stationed at the Mogadishu Airport.Over the next six months, Serbian military doctors and medical technicians will be working in a complex security environment, as did their predecessors, who successfully performed all their tasks requiring preventative medicine and treatment of the injured and sick, demonstrating a high degree of training and professionalism characteristic of the Serbian military medical corps and SAF members in general.
The Serbian Armed Forces started contributing troops to EUTM Somalia in 2012. So far, more than 100 Serbian doctors and medical technicians have served at the Mission HQ and on the medical team in this African country.
