NRF - Slovenska vojska

2Srečno NRF 16!Kratica NRF (NATO Response Forces) označuje Natove odzivne sile, ki so v visoki stopnji pripravljenosti intehnološko napredno opremljene. Sestavljene so iz kopenske, zračne in morske komponente, vključujejotudi enote za specialno delovanje. NRF sile štejejo do 25.000 pripadnikov. Zavezništvo jih lahko v zelo kratkemčasu, v 5 dneh, napoti kamorkoli po svetu in so samozadostne na področju operacije do 30 dni. Sileso sposobne izvajati vse vrste operacij, kjerkoli na svetu. Njihove naloge vključujejo tudi evakuacije, interveniranjeob naravnih in drugih nesrečah, protiteroristično delovanje in izvajanje uvodne napotitve obizrednih kriznih intervencijah za pripravo na prihod naslednjih, glavnih sil.V okviru Nata stalno poteka proces posodobitve vojaških sil zaradi večje učinkovitosti, boljše interoperabilnostiin lažje napotitve sil različnih stopenj pripravljenosti na izvajanje nalog. Temelj transformacije ševedno predstavljajo t.i. Praške zaveze in vzpostavitev odzivnih sil (NATO Response Force - NRF).Prihodnost Nata je odvisna od uspešnosti uresničevanja celotnega spektra Natovega poslanstva, predvsempa od uspešnosti njegovih vojaških operacij. Te pa so odvisne od napredka transformacije zmogljivostiin hkrati pripravljenosti zaveznic, da obveznosti v zvezi s tem tudi uresničujejo. NRF so katalizator zaosredotočanje in pospeševanje napredka vojaških zmogljivosti v Zvezi. Gre predvsem za zelo kompleksnonalogo, ki zahteva odlično usposobljenost pripadnikov in enot.Slovenija prispeva svoje specializirane sile v sestavi Natovih odzivnih sil (NRF) že od 4. rotacije naprej, toje od 14. januarja 2005. Slovenska vojaka je sprejela obveznost sodelovanja v Natovih reakcijskih silah, kizagotavljajo najkrajši možen reakcijski čas. Sile so v stalni stopnji pripravljenosti za delovanje z odzivnimčasom in omogočajo delovanje v vseh operacijah. Naloga 18. bataljona RKBO je, da zagotovi stalno pripravljenostza delovanje z zelo kratkim odzivnim časom. 18. BJRKBO je do zdaj šestkrat sodeloval v silah NRF. Zvsako rotacijo so se pripadniki enote veliko naučili. Sodelovanje v NRF je bilo za enoto koristno zaradi primerjavepostopkov in opreme s pripadniki tujih vojsk, usposobljenosti, znanja jezika, spoznavanja drugihkultur itn. Naše izkušnje iz NRF so bile vedno pozitivne. Predvsem je NRF dal bataljonu možnost, da sodelujein se uveljavlja v mednarodnem okolju, znotraj SV pa mu je zagotovil prednost na področju kadrovskegapopolnjevanja in opremljanja.Dejstvo je, da kljub mladosti Slovenska vojska razmeroma hitro sledi obrambno-varnostnim spremembamv svetu. To ji omogoča neobremenjenost s preteklostjo, saj oborožene sile v Sloveniji niso nasičenez zastarelo vojaško oborožitvijo, obenem pa so majhne in se laže prilagajajo. Tako lahko Slovenska vojskasvojo kolektivno moč gradi na temelju dobre usposobljenosti posameznikov, ki so usposobljeni v pogojihdelovanja, podprtega z visoko vojaško tehnologijo zadnjih generacij.Nato je pod pritiskom stalnega preoblikovanja. Prilagajanja ne gre razumeti kot grožnjo katere koli državeali organizacije, temveč bolj kot dokaz odločenosti, da se zavaruje prebivalstvo, ozemlje in vojaške sile predoboroženimi spopadi, vključno s terorističnimi napadi, vodenimi iz tujine. Nato članice so odločene, daodvrnejo in razbijejo vse napade in se ubranijo ter zavarujejo pred njimi v skladu z Washingtonsko pogodboin Ustanovno listino Združenih narodov. Da bi opravil svoje celotno poslanstvo, mora biti Nato sposobenrazporediti sile, da se lahko hitro premaknejo tja, kjer so potrebne, po odločitvi Severnoatlantskega sveta,da podpira operacije na daljavo in časovno vodene operacije, vključno z operacijami v okolju, kjer se lahkosrečujejo z jedrskimi, biološkimi in kemičnimi grožnjami, in za doseganje svojih ciljev. Učinkovite vojaškesile, ki so pomemben del skupne Nato politične strategije, so nujno potrebne za ohranjanje svobode invarnost prebivalstva in prispevajo k miru in varnosti v Evroatlantskem območju. Zato je bila odločitev, dase ustanovijo Natove sile za ukrepanje (NATO Response Force - NRF), ki sestojijo iz tehnološko razvitih,prilagodljivih, za boj pripravljenih, interoperabilnih in vzdržljivih sil, vključno s kopenskimi, pomorskimi inzračnimi silami, ki se lahko hitro premikajo kamorkoli, kjer so potrebne, tako kot odloči Svet.Aktivnosti NRF 16 so se v Sloveniji pravzaprav pričele v času med 19. do 21. januarjem 2010 in sicer zzačetno načrtovalno konferenco za delovanje v 16. rotaciji Natovih odzivnih sil (NRF 16) v letu 2011. Skozicelo leto so potekale aktivnosti visoke dinamike, ki so »pripeljale« situacijo do zaključne vaje NRF JRKBO sil.V okviru priprav za NRF se enote niso le usposabljale za izvajanje JRKB-obrambe, temveč so urili tudipostopke načrtovanja, izvajanja premikov, razmestitve, oskrbe sil itn. Do zdaj je naš JRKBO bataljon v NRFsodeloval z vodi za dekontaminacijo, leta 2011 pa bo Slovenija z 18. BJRKBO prvič vodilna država v mednarodnembataljonu za JRKBO v NRF 16.Leta 2011 bo Slovenska vojska v NRF 16 namreč zagotavljala vodenje bojne skupine za jedrsko, radiološko,kemično in biološko obrambo, katerega jedro bo 18. BJRKBO. Kontingent bo štel okrog 540 pripadnikovSlovenske vojske, skupaj z državami partnericami (ZDA, Madžarska, Poljska, Portugalska, Velika Britanija inFrancija) pa bo pripadnikov bistveno več.Srečno NRF 16.Polkovnik Dušan Tošpoveljnik 72. brigade in vodja vaje Decisive response 2010

It is made up of land, air and sea components and also includesspecial operations forces. NRF numbers up to 25,000 troops. It can be deployed by the Allianceanywhere in the world at very short notice, in five days, and can sustain itself up to 30 days inthe area of operation. It is capable of performing tasks worldwide across the whole spectrumof operations. These include evacuation, engagement during natural and other disasters, aswell as counterterrorism and acting as an initial entry force in the event of emergency crisissituations to facilitate the arrival of the main, follow-on forces.Military forces within NATO are in a constant process of modernization, in order to increasetheir effectiveness and interoperability, and to allow easier deployment of forces at varyinglevels of readiness to perform tasks However, the basis of transformation remains the agreementreferred to as the Prague Capabilities Commitment and the establishment of the NATOResponse Force.The future of NATO depends on the successful accomplishment of the whole spectrum ofNATO missions, and above all on the success of its military operations. These in turn rely onthe progress of capabilities’ transformation, along with the preparedness of the Allies to fulfiltheir commitments related to that process. The NRF is the catalyst for focusing and promotingimprovements in the Alliance’s military capabilities. It is a very complex task which requires thetroops and units to receive the highest level of qualifications.Slovenia has contributed its specialized forces to the NATO Response Force since the fourth rotationwhich took place on 14th January 2005. The Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF) made a commitmentto participate in the NATO Response Force which ensures the shortest possible reactiontime. The force maintains permanent operational readiness with an appropriate reactiontime and is able to perform tasks in any operation. As a result, the Slovenian 18th Chemical,Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Defence Battalion is obliged to ensure permanentoperational readiness with very short reaction time. To date, the 18th CBRN Defence Battalionhas been active in the NRF on six occasions. Unit members learned a lot with each rotation.Participation in the NRF proved to be very beneficial to the unit due to the comparison of itsprocedures and equipment with those of units belonging to other armed forces, but also interms of comparing its members’ level of training, knowledge of languages and awareness ofother cultures with those of the members of other armed forces. The experience of the SAF inits participation in NRF has always been positive. Above all, the NRF gave the Battalion a chanceto cooperate and promote itself in the international environment, as well as a priority in theprocess of manning and equipping within the SAF.The fact is that although the SAF have only been in existence less than two decades ago, theyhave been relatively quick in following global changes in the area of defence and security. Thisallows the SAF to be unburdened by the past, since they are not overloaded with obsolete militaryarmaments, while at the same time they are small and can adapt more easily. In this way,the SAF can build their collective force based on the high level of training of their memberswho are competent in operating under the support provided by the latest generations of mostsophisticated military technology.NATO is under the pressure of constant transformation. The adjustment should not be perceivedas a threat by any country or organization, but rather as a demonstration of NATO members’determination to protect their populations, territory and forces from any armed attacks,including terrorist attacks, led from abroad. NATO members are determined to deter, disrupt,defend and protect against any attacks on NATO members, in accordance with the WashingtonTreaty and the Charter of the United Nations. In order to fully accomplish its mission, NATOmust be able to deploy forces so that they can move quickly to wherever they are needed,upon decision by the North Atlantic Council, to sustain operations over distance and time,including in an environment where they might be faced with nuclear, biological and chemicalthreats, and to achieve their objectives. Effective military forces, which are an essential partof common NATO political strategy, are vital to safeguard the freedom and security of NATOmembers’ populations and to contribute to peace and security in the Euro-Atlantic region.A decision was therefore taken to create a NATO Response Force (NRF) consisting of a technologicallyadvanced, flexible, deployable, interoperable and sustainable force including land,sea, and air elements ready to move quickly to wherever needed, as decided by the Council.The activities of NRF 16 in Slovenia actually started between 19th and 21st of January 2010,with the initial planning conference on the operation in the 16th rotation of the NATO ResponseForce (NRF 16) in 2011. Throughout the year, very dynamic activities took place, leadingto the final exercise of the NRF CBRN Defence Force.In the framework of preparations for the NRF, units have been trained in performing CBRNdefence tasks, as well as in the procedures related to movement planning and execution, andto the deployment and supply of forces, etc. So far, the Slovenian 18th CBRN Defence Battalionhas participated in the NRF with its decontamination platoons, whereas in 2011, Slovenia willfor the first time be the lead nation in the NATO Multinational CBRN Defence Battalion withinthe NRF 16.This means that in 2011, the SAF will lead a CBRN battle group of the NFR 16, the core of whichwill be the Slovenian 18th CBRN Defence Battalion. The contingent will include approximately540 members of the SAF, although the contingent will total a much larger number of memberstogether with the troops from partner nations (USA, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdomand France).Good luck to NRF 16!Colonel Dušan TošCommander of 72nd Brigade and Exercise Director Decisive response 20103

NATO odzivne sileNRF je kratica, ki označuje NATO odzivne sile aliv originalu: »NATO Response Forces«. NRF sile sozdružene sile Nata v visoki stopnji pripravljenostiin tehnološko napredno opremljene. NFR sile lahkoštejejo tudi do 25.000 pripadnikov. Sestavljeneso iz kopenske, zračne in morske komponente.Vključujejo tudi enote za specialno delovanje.Sile NRF temeljijo na treh stebrih:• C2 - operativno vodenje in poveljevanje• IRF - takojšnje odzivne sile• RFP - bazen odzivnih silZavezništvo jih lahko hitro napoti na katerokoli mesto,kjer jih potrebuje. Sile so sposobne izvajati vsevrste operacij kjerkoli na svetu.Naloge NRF se določajo glede na operacijo. Načelnenaloge so:• Prispevati k ohranitvi teritorialne integritete.• Sile za podporo diplomacije (za demonstracijo sile).• Operacije kriznega odzivanja, vključno z vzdrževanjemmiru.• Embargo operacije.• Podpora za odpravo posledic katastrof/nesreč (naravne,humanitarne, ali druge).• Zaščita ključne/nevarne infrastrukture.• Varnostno/zaščitne operacije.• Sile, ki zagotavljajo pogoje za prihod glavnine NATOsil - vstopne sile za zagotavljanje pogojev silam, kisledijo v združeno območje delovanja (JOA –JointOperation Area). Nalogo morajo biti sposobneopraviti v pogojih od varnega do sovražnega okolja,z ali brez podpore države gostiteljice (HNS – HostNation Support).Naštete so le nekatere naloge, ki niso prednostnorazvrščene.NRF sile so lahko napotene v 5 dneh ter so samozadostnena področju operacije do 30 dni. Ob primernipopolnitvi in oskrbi enote delujejo v območju do 6mesecev. V območje delovanja (AOO –Area of Operation)se najprej napoti premestljivi del poveljstvaNATO, odgovoren za vodenje misije, ki se oblikuje izstrukture (DJSE – Deployable Joint Staff Element). Vnjegovi sestavi je prednji štabni element poveljstva(JHQ Fwd – Joint Headquarters) in podporni element(JHQ FSE).Enote IRF so pripravljene za premik v kratkemčasovnem obdobju od alarmiranja sil (5 do 10 dni).Poveljevanje nad poveljstvi in enotami v sestavi NRF-16 je v pristojnosti združenega poveljstva sil NATO vNeaplju (HQ JFCNP – Headquarters Join Force ComamandNaples). Poveljevanje nad enotami v sestavikopenskih sil (LC) NRF-16 je v pristojnosti poveljstvakorpusa (HQ NRDC-IT – Headquarters NATO RapidDeployable Corps Italy).CJ-CBRND-TF (Combined Joint Chemical, Biological,Radiological and Nulklear Task Forces) je komponentaNRF z zmogljivostjo samostojnega premeščanjain delovanja za JRKBO podporo NATO poveljstev inoperacij.Vojaški cilji CJ-CBRND-TF so povečati sposobnostisil za lastno zaščito, izboljšati obrambne in zaščitneukrepe CBRN-JAT (Chemical, Biological, Radiologicaland Nulklear Joint Assessment Team) in MN CBRNDBn (Multinacional Chemical, Biological, Radiological,Nulklear Battalion), povečati sposobnosti pri varovanjuin ohranjanju pomoči pri odpravljanju škodemed prebivalstvom, na ozemlju, v infrastrukturi in nalastnini.CBRN-JAT (Chemical, Biological, Radiological andNulklear Joint Assessment Team, Združena ekspertnaskupina) izdeluje strokovne ocene in nasvetepoveljnikom in štabom napotenih odzivnih sil in jeodgovorna za posredovanje povratnih informacij.Vodilna država za zmogljivosti CBRN-JAT v NRF-16 jeMadžarska.MN CBRND Bn je enota, ki se uporablja kot celotaali po namensko oblikovanih delih za izvedbospecifičnih nalog JRKB obrambe. Ključne naloge JRK-BO so: izvidovanje in nadzor, detekcija in opazovanje,analiziranje in identificiranje snovi in delcev, dekontaminacijaosebja, materiala in kritične infrastrukture,pravočasna izdelava ocen in nasvetov z zmogljivostmisprejemanja povratnih JRKBO podatkov (tehničnipodatki, ocene, referenčna mnenja).Zmogljivosti MN CBRND Bn NRF-16 so zasnovane naprispevku Slovenskega CBRN Bn in prispevkih partnerskihdržav.

Nosilna enotaza oblikovanje Mn CBRND Bn je 18. BJRKBO. V letu2010 je bila izvedena integracija enot Slovenske vojskev sestavi SVNKON NRF-16. 18. BJRKBO je z organiziranjemkonferenc ter obiski in certifikacijo tujih enot, kiNATO Response ForcesThe abbreviation NRF stands for NATO ResponseForces, a technologically advanced NATO’s jointforce with a high readiness level. The number of theirmembers can amount to as much as 25,000. The NRFcombine the land, air and sea components, and unitsof the special operations forces as an additional component.The NRF are based on three pillars:• C2 – Command and Control• IRF – Immediate Response Force• RFP – Response Forces PoolThe Alliance is able to deploy the NRF quickly andwherever needed. Hence, the forces are capable ofcarrying out a full range of operations anywhere inthe world.Their tasks are tailored to each specific mission, however,some of their fundamental tasks are as follows:• To contribute to the preservation of territorial integrity;• To act in support of diplomacy (show of force);• To participate in crisis response operations, includingpeacekeeping;• To participate in embargo operations;• To provide disaster recovery support (natural, humanitarianor other disasters);• To provide protection of critical/dangerous infrastructure;• To participate in security and protection operations;• To provide conditions for the arrival of the mainbody of NATO forces; they act as entry forces thatprovide conditions for follow-on forces to enter theJoint Operations Area (JOA). They must be capableof carrying out tasks in environments ranging from4dangerous to hostile, with or without the Host NationSupport (HNS).The list presents only selected tasks (not listed in priorityorder).The NRF can be deployed within 5 days and can operateas a stand-alone force for up to 30 days. Whenprovided with appropriate replacements and supplies,they can operate in an area for up to 6 months.First to be deployed to the Area of Operations (AOO)is the deployable part of the NATO Command, incharge of missions, and formed from within the DeployableJoint Staff Element (DJSE). It is composed ofthe Forward Joint Headquarters (JHQ Fwd) and theJoint Headquarters Forward Support Element (JHQFSE).From the time of notification, the IRF units are readyto deploy within 5 to 10 days.The NATO Joint Force Command in Naples (HQ JFCNPNaples) is in command of units and commands withinthe NRF-16. The units of the NRF-16 land component(LC) are under the command of the NATO RapidDeployable Corps Italy Headquarters (HQ NRDC-IT).Combined Joint Chemical, Biological and NuclearTask Forces (CJ-CBRND-TF) are a NRF componentcapable of independent deployment and operationtasked with providing CBRN defence support toNATO commands and operations.CJ-CBRND-TF military objectives are to increase capabilitiesof self protection forces, to improve defenceand protection measures of the Chemical, Biological,Radiological and Nuclear Joint Assessment Team(CBRN-JAT) and the Multinational Chemical, Biological,Radiological, Nuclear Defence Battalion (MNCBRND Bn), and to increase protection capabilitiesand capabilities for the recovery of damage to thepopulation, the territory, and to infrastructure andproperty.Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear JointAssessment Team (CBRN-JAT) makes expert assessmentsand prepares guidance for deployed responsiveforces commanders and HQs and is responsiblefor providing feedback information. Hungary is thelead nation for CBRN-JAT capabilities in NRF-16.Multinational Chemical, Biological, Radiological,Nuclear Defence Battalion (MN CBRND Bn) is an internationalCBRN battalion tasked as a whole or bypurpose-based parts to carry out specific CBRN defencetasks. Key CBRN defence tasks are: reconnaissanceand control, detection and observation, analysisand identification of substances and fragments,decontamination of personnel, materiel and criticalinfrastructure, timely elaboration of assessments andadvice by means of CBRND feedback information(technical data, assessments, reference opinions).Capabilities of NRF-16 Multinational CBRN DefenceBattalion are based on the contribution of Slovenia’sCBRN Battalion and partner countries’ contributions.Partner countries (France, Poland, Hungary, USA,United Kingdom, Italy and Portugal) contribute theircapabilities to IRF and RFP by principle of fulfillingminimum requirements. In NRF-16 the lead nationfor the Multinational CBRN Defence Battalion is Slovenia.Multinational CBRN Defence Battalion’s structure isdetermined in accordance with the NRF-16’s CombinedJoint Statement of Requirements (CJSOR).Between January and July 2011, Slovenia will, in therole of the lead nation, contribute to the MultinationalCBRN Defence Battalion, within the IRF/NRF structure.Polish, Hungarian and USA units will likewisecontribute to the battalion. The 18th Nuclear, Radiological,Chemical and Biological Defence Battalion

From a Company to the Main Unit in NRF-16In the past, Slovenia was considered the mostdeveloped country in the former Socialist FederalRepublic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Its developmentresulted partly from a relatively well developedchemical industry. Accordingly, both civil andmilitary components of protection against CBRNthreats developed in line with the then territorialdefence (TO) and civil protection (CP) forces.When the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF) wereformed, this area was in the domain of the 108thCBRN Company that grew into a battalion in 1995.The predominant opinion at the time was that theCBRN battalion was much too large a unit for theSlovenian Armed Forces exclusively. The well developedchemical industry, the Slovenian nuclearpower plant and the relevant need for security,contributed to Slovenia’s decision to preserve thebattalion. During its accession to NATO, Sloveniaoffered the CBRN battalion capabilities to NATO.With Slovenia’s entry to NATO and the professionalizationof the Slovenian Armed Forces in 2004,activities were initiated to prepare the battalionfor international cooperation.Today’s demands include mutual cooperation andunderstanding between the CBRN units withinthe Alliance and their possible use in joint units,the EU and NATO. However, this objective is stillfar from fulfilled. Our greatest challenges were theSTANAG documents (set NATO procedures andstandards) at various levels, demanding that theSAF members learn new techniques and acquirenew competences. It should be noted that, in additionto the usual standard operational procedures,members of this battalion have to master at leastas twice as many additional procedures connectedto a certain field of specialty.Some of the 18th CBRN Defence Battalion basictasks are:6- To provide CBRN defence;- To carry out measurements, detect and analysesubstances;- To carry out decontamination tasks;- To provide support to SAF units within CBRN defence;- To perform civil defence, rescue and relief tasks;- To carry out tasks within multinational NRF units;- To test new equipment and carry out modernisationof the CBRN equipment;- To carry out pre-deployment training for CBRNdefence personnel;- To participate in the resolution of crisis situationsin crisis response operations.Some battalion tasks are closely linked to the internationalenvironment. Naturally, the work in internationalenvironment dictates that the personnel,procedures and equipment are consistent with theAlliance standards and adequately effective. Byadding an adequate and necessary care for minimumpossible environment pollution, it becomesevident that the battalion's equipment was not inconformity with actual needs and requirements onthe threshold of the millennium. This demonstratedthat specific engagement in the internationalenvironment could only be possible, if new technologiesare purchased.In 2005, the decontamination company wasequipped with decontamination containers andtrucks. The system is based on Italian decontaminationtechnology using environmentally-friendlymaterials.This introduced new challenges for the battalion.Hence the battalion with a light decontaminationplatoon, under the command of Lieutenant MatjažBončina, participated in NRF 4 in the first half of2005. The lead nation at the time was Germany. Inthe second half of the same year, the MultinationalCBRN Defence Battalion was taken over by Spainand also included the Slovenian Armed Forces’contribution in the form of a light decontaminationplatoon, this time under the command ofLieutenant Tomše. France, followed by the CzechRepublic, acted as the lead nation of the MultinationalCBRN Defence Battalion in the second halfof 2006. Throughout all this time, Slovenia maintainedits contribution in the form of a light decontaminationplatoon. Slovenia's contribution to NRF7 and NRF 8 was led by First Lieutenant Savinšekand Lieutenant Škoberne. In 2007, the 18th CBRNDefence Battalion contributed a full squad toLebanon. In the second part of 2007, the 18th Battalionwas already manned to such an extent tocontribute a light decontamination company as apart of the Multinational CBRN Defence Battalionwithin NRF 10 led by Germany. The company wasled by Captain Košelnik. Slovenia's engagementin multinational activities in 2008 was seeminglysmaller, because once again the light decontaminationplatoon was included in the MultinationalCBRN Defence Battalion within the NRF 11 structureunder German command. Lieutenant Zornwas commander of the platoon. At the same time,a company-level unit, also part of the HQ was preparingfor participation in KFOR 18 forces. For thepurpose of training and mission itself, members ofthe 18th CBRN Defence Battalion were attached tothe 20th Motorised Battalion. The KFOR 18 missiontook place from September 2008 to February 2009.In the near future, in 2011, the battalion will faceis greatest challenge in the NRF, for the 18th CBRNDefence Battalion will, with the help of other detachmentsfrom the SAF, Poland, Hungary, USAand France, assume the role of the main unit andSlovenia the role of a lead nation.

BJRKBO danesEnota RKBO je bila ustanovljena v Kranju, majuleta 1992. Najprej je delovala kot četa, kasneje leta1995 pa se je četa preoblikovala v bataljon.Bataljon je edina enota rodu JRKBO s poklicnimmirnodobnim jedrom. Opremljena je znajsodobnejšo opremo in usposobljena, da samostojnoali v sestavi višjih taktičnih enot izvršujenaloge posebnih ukrepov JRKB nadzora, zaščite indekontaminacije.Osnovne naloge enote so :• Usposabljanje poklicnih in pogodbenih pripadnikov,• Zagotavljanje stalne bojne pripravljenosti,• Sodelovanje v nalogah zaščite in reševanja,• Preizkus novih sredstev in opreme JRKBO,• JRKB podpora enotam SV,• JRKB nadzor (izvidovanje, laboratorijske analize,dozimetrija, meteorološke meritve, nadzornaslužba) in• JRKB zaščita in dekontaminacija (ljudi, tehničnihsredstev, objektov in zemljišč).Do leta 2000 je enoti poveljeval maj Marjan Tušak,med letoma 2000 in 2004 je enoti poveljevalmaj Boštjan Juras, med letoma 2004 in 2007 ppkBranko Podbrežnik.

HQ Logistics Company Withinthe Multinational CBRNDefence Battalion StructureMission and structure of theHQ Logistics CompanyThe purpose of the HQ Logistic Company of the18th CBRN Defence Battalion is to provide combatservice support and command support to MultinationalCBRN Defence Battalion units. Its mainobjective is the provision of logistic support toMultinational CBRN Defence Battalion units andconsequently the provision of their uninterruptedoperation. The company will fulfil this objectiveby providing transport means, organising supplyfrom all five supply classes, maintaining materiel,providing storage of assets, providing medicalsupport and undisturbed operation of communications.The HQ Logistics Company consistsof a company HQ, supply platoon, maintenanceplatoon, communications platoon, medical platoonand accommodation squad. . In accordancewith NRF-16 formation the company counts 109members. As the company contributes 3 logisticsquads to manoeuvre units of the multinationalbattalion, namely to the CBRN response company,light decontamination company and a mobileCBRN Defence laboratory, the number of membersin the company is lower as it would normally be(125). The mentioned squads include nurses, drivers,maintenance personnel of various profiles, andwarehouse and supplies personnel. They will betasked with providing logistic support to units inthe field, outside the base.Provision of logistic supportto the Multinational CBRNDefence Battalion in NRF-16The CBRN Defence Battalion has approximately800 members, for which reason provision of logisticsupport to such a large unit will be a great challenge.Besides 109 members of the HQ LogisticsCompany another 107 members of the forward logisticcompany from the 670th Logistics Battalionwill provide logistic support to the MultinationalCBRN Defence Battalion. The task of both companieswill be to set up a base with all necessaryelements that will provide uninterrupted life andwork of multinational battalion units in the field.The HQ Logistics Company is exclusively responsiblefor the setting up of a medical post, establishmentof a communications centre, workshopfor maintenance of motor vehicles, warehouse formateriel, etc. Other tasks, such as provision of accommodationfacilities, electrification of the camp,medical facility, provision of food, water and fuelsupplies will be accomplished by joining resourcesof both companies.Supply platoonIts mission is to supply Multinational CBRN DefenceBattalion units with food, technical anddrinking water, fuel, ammunition and other material,to provide storage for various assets etc. Theplatoon consists of catering personnel, ammunitionand fuel manipulators, warehousemen anddrivers. This part of supply is equivalent to level 1supply, which means supply from own resources.Maintenance platoonMaintenance platoon is tasked with provision ofmaintenance for motor vehicles, power generators,weapons and other materiel, communicationand information means and CBRN equipment. It iscomposed of maintenance personnel of variousspecialties, maintenance personnel for motor vehicles,electro mechanics, maintenance personnelfor telecommunication or CBRN systems and others.Within a logistic base, maintenance of materielis carried out by setting up field workshops and bysending maintenance teams to the field. Damagedmotor vehicles are evacuated in cooperation withthe forward logistics company.Medical platoonFor the purposes of providing health care andwelfare for all members, the medical platoon hasset up a battalion medical post – ROLE 1. Its taskis to provide medical care for all members of theMultinational CBRN Defence Battalion units. Theplatoon is composed of experienced medical assistants,medical technicians and doctors, providingmedical care at primary level (triage, treatment ofminor wounds and injuries). In case of more seriousinjuries the injured are evacuated to the nearesthealth centre. The evacuation of the woundedand the sick from the field to ROLE-1 is providedby the evacuation squad. Platoon members arealso tasked with raising health awareness amongthe members and carrying out preventive hygienemeasures.Communications platoonCommunications platoon provides uninterruptedoperation of communications and informationsystems. Members of this platoon have very challengingand important tasks; the continuity ofcommand and control in the field depends entirelyon them. The platoon fulfils its tasks by setting upwire, radio, satellite and radio relay communications.Accommodation squadThe task of the accommodation detachment membersis to set up a command post with all attachedelements and to organise a vehicle fleets. In additionthey are tasked with providing uninterruptedwork of the battalion HQ. The squad includes drivers,messengers, energy generator operators, electricians,archivists and others.10Company’s preparations forthe operation in NRFHQ Logistics Company undertakes extensive andcomplex preparations for the operation in NRF-16.In addition to their basic mission (provision of logisticsupport to the Multinational CBRN DefenceBattalion) the members of the HQ Logistic Companymust be versed in numerous other militaryskills. Hence the members undergo the basic militaryskills training (notification, unit defence, selfprotection procedures, control point procedures,CBRN Defence skills etc.) at least once per week.They undergo specialist training in platoons just asfrequently. The training of the HQ Logistics Company’smembers is complemented by regular sportsactivities and other forms of maintaining physicaland mental fitness. The arrangement, inspectionand preparation of a list of all materiel for the establishmentof a logistic base are an essential part ofpreparations. Furthermore, as the resources of bothcompanies will be joined, coordination with the ForwardLogistic Company will also be required.
