The latest two training events were with the 5th Brigade in Tuzla and the 6th Brigade in Banja Luka and focussed on surveillance and reconnaissance at platoon level and intelligence training at brigade and battalion level. During the training, the MNBN showed the Armed Forces BiH the tactics, techniques and procedures for peace support tasks in accordance with NATO standards.
In 2016 the Multinational Battalion conducted nine Combined Training events at platoon level throughout the country. The EUFOR troops trained with all three Infantry Brigades of the Armed Forces BiH in rotation, ensuring that all of the BiH units benefited. Combined Training events are part of EUFOR’s Capacity Building and Training mission, one of EUFOR’s main tasks, which aims to develop the knowledge and skills of the BiH troops. It provides the Armed Forces BiH with the knowledge for peace support operations abroad.
