HUNGARIAN EXPERIENCES IN PEACE SUPPORT ACTIVITIES
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2007, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
In this article we try to give a short picture of the Hungarian Defence Forces (HDF), their participation in the different peace support missions and to present the tendencies which transformed the organisation, equipment and employment rules of the HDF troops participating in such Allied missions. The basis for this presentation is the “Hungarian Engineer Contingent” (an engineer battalion task force), which meant the Hungarian contribution to the IFOR and SFOR missions. The activities and experiences of this unit had the most important impacts on the transformation process of the HDF.
