Friday, 24.9.2021 | Training
International tactical exercise „Neighbors 21“ was successfully conducted in the barracks „People's Hero Stevica Jovanović“ in Pančevo, in which members of the Serbian Armed Forces, the Hungarian Armed Forces and the Ohio National Guard took part.
The final day of the exercise was attended by the Commander of the First Army Brigade, Brigadier General Zoran Naskovic, and the Commander of the Fifth Infantry Brigade of the Hungarian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Balázs Slosár.
The goal of the trilateral exercise, hosted this year by the First Army Brigade, is to improve interoperability and capability to conduct multinational operations at the tactical level, while strengthening mutual trust and exchanging experiences.
During the five-day activities, members of the armed forces of Serbia, Hungary and the United States practiced combat operations and procedures during deployment in peace support operations, such as territory control, field search, medical evacuation and procedures in case of attacks on forces deployed in the operation.
The „Neighbors“ tactical exercise has been conducted alternately in Serbia and Hungary since 2011 in order to prepare for deployment in multinational operations and improve cooperation. Since 2017, members of the Ohio National Guard have also been participating in the exercise, making the exercise trilateral.
