From 1 to 28 June 2023, the National Guard and the Armed Forces of the United States of America co-organized a small-scale special operations exercise TAMS "GUARDIAN-2023" on the territory of the Republic of Cyprus.
The purpose of the exercise was to co-train Special Forces personnel in the planning, execution and information support procedures for Special Operations in the Area of Operations. Specifically, the individual scenarios included various types of individual and team weapon and sniper combat shots, training in residential combat and training of personnel in battlefield first aid items.
A phase of the co-training was attended by the Chief of the National Guard, Lieutenant General Demokritos Zervakis, who, after congratulating the trainee units of the Commando Command and the USA for their efforts, stressed the importance of conducting joint training, both for increasing the level of cooperation and understanding between the armed forces of the two countries, and for the security and stability of the Eastern Mediterranean region in general.
The exercise, which is part of the Bilateral Defense Cooperation Program between the Republic of Cyprus and the United States, is considered to be particularly beneficial, as it provides the National Guard's special operations personnel with the opportunity to be co-trained with corresponding personnel of the US National Guard, thus promoting the level of training, interoperability and highlighting the excellent relations between the two countries' National Defence Forces.
