Infantry Company Evaluated for Deployment with UNIFIL
Friday, 13.5.2022 | Training
At "South" Base and "Borovac" Training Ground near Bujanovac, a three-day tactical exercise "Serbian Shield" was conducted this week as part of preparations for deployment with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
The exercise was intended to evaluate the readiness of the Infantry Company, 3rd Army Brigade, for completing its assignments when deployed with UNIFIL.
Members of the infantry company completed their tasks which had been fully tailored to the mission’s area of operation and which involved performance of tactical actions and procedures in case of attack on the patrol or base, coming across a mine-explosive obstacle, or while securing check-points, convoys and escorts, putting down protests and controlling mass gatherings.
The SAF General Staff Team checked if the actions were performed properly and if required international training standards were observed, and results of the examination showed that this SAF contingent was fully ready for deployment with UNIFIL.
A SAF unit of an infantry company level has been deployed with UNIFIL since 2013. A force protection platoon, a national support element and SAF staff officers are also involved in the area of operation.
