Approximately 500 participants representing 12 teams from 7 countries, including the United States, Azerbaijan, Australia, and Poland, competed in this prestigious event. Military personnel from another 8 countries, including Türkiye, Mexico, the Philippines, and Malaysia, observed the competition.
During this year's edition of the competition, which has been held since 2023, participants first completed tasks involving combat operations in mountainous, forested, and urban environments. They then competed in a comprehensive stage that required them to conduct combat operations simultaneously across all three types of terrain.
The challenging tasks, which demand extensive experience and a high level of skill from every specialist, posed no significant difficulties for the servicemen of the Ministry of Defense. They achieved record-breaking results in several categories.
In particular, in the mountainous terrain event, our servicemen completely eliminated the simulated enemy forces occupying defensive positions without suffering any casualties and captured all 7 flags. No team had previously achieved such a result.
During the urban combat event, our servicemen launched an assault on the simulated enemy defending its positions and captured all the designated facilities and all 7 flags. This achievement was also unprecedented in the history of the competition.
Furthermore, in the event involving the defense and retention of defensive positions in an urban environment, our team captured 7 facilities and all the flags without losing a single soldier, setting a new competition record.
In the overall standings, Uzbekistan secured first place with 316 points. Cambodia took second place with 212 points, while the host nation, the Republic of Korea, finished third with 192 points.
A ceremonial reception was held for the victorious servicemen at Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport. The event was attended by senior officers of the Ministry of Defense, members of the public, and representatives of the mass media.
