The competition brought together 16 teams and around 500 military personnel from the Republic of Korea, Uzbekistan, the United States, New Zealand, Cambodia, as well as a joint NATO team.
At the initial stage of the competition, each team developed an operational plan, carried out national coordination tasks, and successfully enhanced their skills and experience necessary for conducting joint operations among units.
Following a draw, the teams proceeded to the competitive stages. According to the competition rules, participants carried out 12 stages of simulated combat operations in mountainous, forested, and urban terrains, using various combat simulators and scientifically-based training programs.
The evaluation of completed tasks was based on: full execution of missions, compliance with the rules of combat, effectiveness in neutralizing simulated enemies, survivability in both offensive and defensive scenarios, tactical soundness of actions, and communication according to battlefield conditions.
Notably, the Uzbek military personnel set new records during the competition: capturing the simulated enemy's reserve and main command post took only 21 minutes (the previous record was 33 minutes), and neutralizing the enemy in a defensive scenario was achieved in 25 minutes (previously 29 minutes).
In addition, sergeant third class Bekzod Nodirov showed the highest performance in the enemy elimination task and was named "Best Shooter" of the competition.
Thus, the team from the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Uzbekistan once again achieved the highest result and took first place this year in the International scientific-combat training competitions. It is worth noting that Uzbekistan's military personnel also held the top position in the previous two years of these competitions.
Tomorrow, on September 27, a ceremonial welcome for our military personnel will take place at Tashkent international airport.
