Milosh armoured combat vehicles were used during the training.
The units that participated in the training already hold combat readiness certificates, having successfully completed evaluation exercises assessed by an international team of evaluators. The training featured professional unit members who are highly motivated and skilled in their respective duties.
The “Operational capabilities concept” is a form of cooperation within the Partnership for Peace program. Through its implementation, the Serbian Armed Forces achieve interoperability standards and develop the operational capabilities of the units designated for participation in peacekeeping operations. In addition to Military Police platoons, the Serbian Armed Forces also maintain capable and combat-ready units of various specialities trained under this concept.
