Warlord Rock 2015 Hungarian-US military exercise kicked off with the deployment of paratroopers

More than seven hundred fifty Hungarian and American soldiers participated in the airborne operations and tactical level joint exercise code-named Warlord Rock 2015, taking place at Pápa Air Base between February 22 and March 3 in the framework of NATO-wide Operation Atlantic Resolve operation.

“Hungarian troops brilliantly demonstrated that they are capable of carrying out joint military operations with allied forces” said Defense Minister Csaba Hende at the Pápa Air Base on 26 February.

Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the commander of US land forces stationed in Europe remarked that Hungarian soldiers deserve the best equipment because the troops maintain high readiness and can support standing NATO Response Force tasks as part of their Alliance commitments.
