With the participation of personnel from the United States Armed Forces European Command (USEUCOM), Cyprus National Guard organised a joint training on issues of managing the wounded in the battlefield from 13 to 17 February, 2023.
The training took place in the framework of special small-scale operations, under the name “SILVER FALCON SOFEX – 2023” at the “STAVROU STYLIANIDI” Military Camp in Kornos village.
According to the Cyprus Ministry of Defence, the main aim of the joint training in which the Brigade’s medical and paramedical personnel took part, was to increase knowledge in the selection, management and evacuation of wounded from the battlefield.
As it is noted, the Joint training is considered particularly beneficial, as it provided the opportunity for National Guard personnel to co-train and gain valuable knowledge from specialised First Aid providers and US Special Forces paramedics.
It also constitutes the continuation of the important initiatives that are underway as well as a confirmation of the continuous upgrading of the military cooperation of the Republic of Cyprus and the USA in new areas of mutual interest, including training through which National Guard personnel gain valuable experiences and know-how.
