“The professionalism of the soldiers during wars has always been a decisive factor and an important criterion for measuring the readiness of forces and their ability to fully carry out assigned missions, just as individual performance, discipline, and the ability to adapt to the changing battlefield conditions, are essential qualities for leading the fighting force to victory,” he emphasized.
“It is within this context that the particular importance we attach to the execution of tactical exercises, at various levels and echelons, lies, as these exercises represent a real test, both for the training system, which serves as the crucible where skills are forged, and for combat preparation, which complements it by enhancing the staff’s experience and professionalism and increasing their ability to master the various equipment and weapon systems made available,” he added.
