CBRN Unit Trained for Participation in Peacekeeping Operations
Wednesday, 26.8.2026 | Training
A CBRN unit from the Army, designated for participation in peacekeeping operations, is conducting collective training at the “Tsar Lazar” Barracks and the “Ravnjak” training ground in Kruševac.
This unit is one of the Serbian Armed Forces units declared by the country under the “Operational Capabilities Concept” mechanism within the Partnership for Peace program; through its implementation, the Serbian Armed Forces achieve interoperability standards and develop the capabilities of these units for participation in peacekeeping operations.
Personnel from these units undergo comprehensive preparation and complex training to achieve the required level of proficiency in executing tasks in an international environment, and their readiness for these tasks is subject to continuous assessment.
During this training period for CBRN unit personnel, the focus is on tactical drills for collective tasks likely to be encountered in multinational operations—such as the radiological, chemical, and biological decontamination of personnel, weaponry, and equipment; patrolling; establishing checkpoints; force and facility protection; and the evacuation and treatment of the wounded.
Upon completion of this training phase, the declared CBRN unit will undergo a tactical exercise at the “Borovac” training ground and the “South” Base, during which its readiness for deployment in peacekeeping operations will be assessed.
