President Klaus Iohannis, Minister of National Defence Nicolae-Ionel Ciuca and head of the Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Daniel Petrescu, on Thursday, will participate in the ceremony occasioned by the setting up of the Multinational Corps South-East (HQ MNC-SE), which will take place at the "Getica" Joint National Training Centre (CNII) in the Cincu locality in the Brasov County, the Ministry of National Defence (MApN) informed on Wednesday.
According to the MApN, the exercise, with 1,000 soldiers and more than 200 technical means to participate, is meant to perfect the process of integration of the military capabilities for the synchronized execution of some complex military actions. The exercise is also meant to verify the state of operativeness of the subordinated structures, without going through the regular planning stages for the organisation of an exercise at this level, and aims at, within five days since the notification, the subordinated structures to be able to prove their combat capacity in joint combined, multi-domain battle contexts.
The MApN mentions that the carrying out of the two activities will be adjusted to the current pandemic context and all the health protection and social distancing measures will be taken.
