He will be presenting 'An Update on Slovakia’s Modernised Supply Chain and Support System.'

Below is a summary of the presentation, being held on Day 1 at 14:00.

Communications and C2 Optimisation of Logistics Strategy

Modernising truck and helicopter logistics capacity to enhance flexibility within the Armed Forces, to maintain equipment operability and full capability in national operations. This will be presented through the case study of the Bell 429 light utility helicopters, imported from the US to boost Slovakian national support systems. Moreover, working closely with allies will ensure Slovakian logistics battalions remain up to standard. This will consist of using international exercises to sustain battalion readiness and interoperability. Looking at this from a strategic perspective, the Slovakian Armed Forces are introducing tactical changes to Command and Control (C2) in order to consolidate future supply and support operations.
