In the period from 10 to 13.03.2014 in accordance with the annual training plans of the first subordinate units of the Joint Operations Command (JOC), briefings on training for the first quarter of 2014 were conducted in front of the commanders of the units.
On the quarterly training briefings (QTB), the commanders of the subordinate units briefed the commanders of the brigades on the situation in their units, the accomplished training of the members of the units and the training priorities in the second quarter.
As part of the quarterly training briefings at the 1.Mechanized Infantry Brigade (1st MIB) on which the training of subordinate units is usually presented, at the training range in the garrison Kichevo in front of the 1st MIB Commander Brigadier General Pavle Arsoski and the participants of the briefing, the reconnaissance platoon of the Command Company of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Battalion carried out a methodical-demonstration exercise “Reconnaissance attack on a command post”.
The concept of the operation was carried out in three stages: infiltration, performing the attack and exfiltration. The object of attack was a command post (CP) of hostile enemy paramilitary formations, set deep in the opposing units which are in contact with our units.
First, the external security of the CP was disabled by sniper teams’ action, previous teams carried out disabling of the internal security of the CP and then an attack on the facilities was carried out rounding off the goal of the task. The captured communication means and materials were seized during withdrawal, and parts of the CP were destroyed by an explosive device.
At the end of the methodical-demonstration exercise the participants discuss and analyze the demonstrated activity.
