Border guards from Chernivtsi, Kharkiv, Berdyansk, Lviv, Kherson, Chop, Mukachevo and Lutsk border guard detachments took part in the training.

The training was aimed at improving professional knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for quality counteraction to illegal activities in the performance of special tasks of state border protection.

More than 20 service people improved their own level of professional training by practicing tactical and special firearms training, physical training and tactical medicine.

By simulating various situations and scenarios, the border guards honed their skills in carrying out special measures to physically detain people indoors and on the ground. For the first time, the course included a three-day climbing course.

During the “tactical medicine” exercise, military personnel improved their level of competence in pre-medical care in a combat environment. They learned how to provide assistance in the shelter sector, with special emphasis on practicing the MARCH algorithm.

The specialists concluded their course with a comprehensive tactical training.
