From 4 to 6 July 2023, the National Guard and the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom co-organized a small-scale TAMS special operations exercise "ZEUS - 2023".
The purpose of the exercise was to co-train Special Forces personnel in the procedures for planning and executing combat in populated areas in a mountainous environment. Specifically, the individual scenarios included airlift and execution of direct offensive action in a mountainous environment, training in the drop tower, and training of personnel in battlefield first aid items.
The final phase of the exercise was attended by the Inspector General of the National Guard, Major General Neofytos Pachoulides, who, after congratulating the personnel for the excellent planning and execution of the exercise, stressed the importance of conducting joint trainings to increase the level of cooperation and understanding between the Armed Forces of the two countries.
The exercise, which is part of the Bilateral Defence Cooperation Programme between the Republic of Cyprus and the United Kingdom, is considered to be particularly beneficial as it provides an opportunity for National Guard special operations personnel to be co-trained with their counterparts from the British Armed Forces, thus promoting the level of training, interoperability and highlighting the excellent relations between the Armed Forces of the two countries.
