The small-scale special operations exercise "BOLD WINGS - 2023", co-organised by the National Guard and the French Armed Forces (AF), started on 30 May and will end on 15 June 2023.
The exercise is taking place at training and firing ranges in the land area of the Republic of Cyprus (RoC) and involves special operations personnel from the National Guard Command Command of the National Guard and the French Armed Forces. The scenario of the TAMS includes, inter alia, various types of individual and group weapon firing, execution of free-fall jumps, training in combat first aid, as well as execution of special operations in a populated area.
On Wednesday, June 7, 2023, the Chief of the National Guard, Lieutenant General Demokritos Zervakis, attended a phase of the co-training, in the presence of the Ambassador of France, Ms. Salina Grenet - Catalano. The Chief, after congratulating the Special Operations Groups for their efforts, stressed the great importance of conducting joint trainings, both for the increase of the level of cooperation and understanding between the National Defence Forces of the two countries, as well as for the security and stability in the region in general.
The exercise, which is part of the Bilateral Defence Cooperation Programme between the RoC and France, is considered to be particularly beneficial, as it provides an opportunity for the special operations personnel of the National Guard to be co-trained with corresponding personnel of the French National Guard, thus promoting the level of training, interoperability and highlighting the excellent relations between the National Guard of the two countries.
