The National Transnational Tactical Exercise After Troops (TAMS) "Nikitis-Dimitra 2023" was completed on Friday, June 16, 2023. The exercise was large-scale and was conducted in the land, sea and airspace of the Republic of Cyprus, with the participation of personnel and assets of the General Staff, Commands, Formations and Tactical Groups of the National Guard, while in phases of the exercise, scheduled and unscheduled reservists and National Guardsmen were called and participated. State institutions and defence and security related agencies, under the coordination of the Central Civil Emergency Planning Service (CECPS) of the Ministry of Defence, involved in providing support to the National Guard, also participated.
The purpose of the exercise was to train and addict all personnel in decision-making processes, translating them into instructions and orders in times of tension, crisis and operations, to train the sections in interdisciplinary operational scenarios, to deal with the unexpected, to evaluate operational tools, the logistics system, the recruitment system, as well as to implement and test plans. In this context, the formations and commands of the General Staff of the National Guard designed and executed individual small- and medium-scale exercises to test branch and inter-branch scenarios on land, sea and air, which were configured to simulate real conditions in a period of operations.
Specifically, the exercise examined items related to unit survivability, execution of combined and interagency operations to counter both conventional and asymmetric threats, and logistics support.
Phases of the exercise were attended by the Minister of Defense, Mr. Michael Yiorgallas, the Chief of the National Guard, Lieutenant General Demokritos Zervakis, the Deputy Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Loukas Hatzimichael, the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Ioannis Vasilakis and the rest of the General Staff of the General Staff.
The Chief congratulated all the personnel, conveying the satisfaction of the Minister of Defence, stressing that the results of the TAMS "NIKITIS-DIMITRA 2023" confirmed the excellence of the planning, the detailed preparation, the accurate and effective conduct as well as the high level of combat capability of the units, factors that contribute to increasing the operational readiness of the National Guard.
