Joint training of Italian blue helmets with Lebanese armed forces

10/01/15

In recent days, some soldiers of the Lebanese armed forces (LAF) participated in an intense phase of joint training called "Joint training activities", conducted by the Italian contingent of ITALBATT, currently based on the Cavallegeri Guide Regiment (19 °).

In particular, the activity was aimed at teaching the techniques and procedures to be adopted for crowd control, in situations of danger and threat to public order.

Training developed between theoretical and practical lessons that allowed staff to acquire basic knowledge and "anti-riot" intervention skills.

At the end of the demanding week of work, culminating in a final exercise, Colonel Angelo Malizia, commander of ITALBATT, gave the participants a certificate of attendance.
