According to the annual “Training Calendar for 2024”, members of the Military Police Battalion (MPBn) recently conducted Winter Warfare Training in the Shtip garrison (separate facility “Lisec”).
The main goal of the training is MPBn personnel to train and drill tactics, techniques and procedures for cold weather operations and winter warfare. In addition, they learned to conduct assigned tasks on various kinds of terrain, in cold weather, including learning how the equipment and people react to low temperatures in mountain warfare.
Giving first aid treatment for frostbite, orientation, formation and manual means were on snow covered terrain practiced. Part of the training was building and staying overnight in a mountain snow shelter such as an igloo, snow cave and bivouac. In these winter conditions, the drivers of motor vehicles honed their driving skills on harsh terrain and snow covered terrain.
The planned training topics were covered successfully in accordance with the training plan. MPBn personnel demonstrated high professionalism and readiness in conducting the assigned tasks. Collective teamwork contributed to the improvement of their training level, strengthening the team spirit and necessary qualifications to conduct tasks in mountain warfare.
