Activities ranged from simulated combat scenarios to the detection and neutralization of explosive devices, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to security preparedness.
Following the exercises, Russian instructors collaborated with battalion commanders to assess performance, identify tactical deficiencies, and refine strategies for future operations.
The collaborative effort aimed to enhance cohesion and responsiveness among the various security forces, fostering improved interoperability and readiness to confront threats posed by terrorist organizations and rebel factions.
“The improved interaction between security forces is a testament to the effectiveness of joint training initiatives,” affirmed officials, highlighting the significance of the exercises in strengthening the CAR’s defence capabilities.
