On 17th April, at the assembly square of the 3rd Air Base in Wrocław, a farewell ceremony of the Engineering Unit leaving for the mission in Chad took place.
In the ceremony participated highest ranked military officials from MoND, Land Forces and the troops mother base – Brzeska Sapper Brigade.
Engineering Unit's task is to prepare the camp before the deployment of main forces. The personnel strength is about 60 soldiers, composed of self-sufficient, engineering, logistic, liaison and medical units. Their task is very challenging as the conditions there are harsh and the terrain needs to be rooted out, cleared and banked. Only after completing this part, will the base be set up.
