72nd Special Operations Brigade’s combat teams undergo training
Members of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade, supported by a helicopter squadron of the 98th Air Brigade, have conducted a helicopter rappel training at the Colonel Pilot Milenko Pavlović Military Airfield in Batajnica.
This is only a part of a complex training that special operations teams and new unit members must undergo to be able to carry out actions and operations of special importance, as well as specific tasks in all terrain, weather and combat conditions.As explained by an instructor from the 72nd Special Operations Brigade, complex training is conducted in this unit.
— Today you have the opportunity to watch the training of special operations teams involving rappelling from H-145M helicopters. The most important thing in rappelling is to ensure coordination between a special operations crew and an air force and air defence team, i.e. technicians, pilot, but also the chief instructor, and the team in charge of the training. This is a complex training where our members practise the technique of descending from a helicopter using a rope – emphasized the instructor.
One of the unit members says that what motivated him to apply for admission to the 72nd Special Operations Brigade was his love of the homeland and the desire to uphold traditional values and demonstrate his abilities.— We conduct a wide range of training activities, such as summertime and wintertime training, tactical and firearms training, swimming and diving training. In our unit, teamwork is very important because we depend on each other, so team cohesion is a must. Support among co-workers is very important, mainly because we spend a large part of the day at work, but we get along really well outside work as well. Characteristics that every member of our brigade must possess are love for the homeland and a desire to foster family traditions and values – emphasized this member of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade and invited young people to apply for the competition for admission to this unit and join the ranks of the chosen ones.
Young men and women who wish to join the 72nd Special Operations Brigade as professional soldiers on a fixed-term contract can apply through a competition that is open until June 15. To meet eligibility criteria, applicants must be adult citizens of the Republic of Serbia under 30 years of age, who have finished secondary school, or are in their final year at a secondary school, regardless of whether they have completed military service with weapons or not.
