Memorial competition in practical shooting "Josip Briški 2024" marked the tenth anniversary since the special units of the Croatian Armed Forces began organizing this event. It took place from September 2nd to 5th, 2024, at the "Headquarters Brigadier Ante Šaškor" barracks in Delnice and at the "Kovačevo" shooting range in Grobnik, attracting many competitors from various branches of the military.


The competition was held according to the rules of the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC), but adapted to specific military conditions. Participants used pistols with mechanical sights and rifles with optical sights, testing their skills through six practical tasks. These tasks were designed to simulate real combat situations, highlighting the importance of experience in military operations. Only competitors with previous experience in instinctive and situational combat shooting were eligible to participate.


In addition to members of the Special Forces Command (ZSS), units such as the Guard Armored Mechanized Brigade, the Military Police Regiment, the Honorary Protection Battalion, and the Naval Assault Infantry Company participated in the competition. Two teams composed of veterans, former members of special units, also competed, bringing rich experience and adding a special dimension to the event.


On the final day, September 5th, 2024, a ceremony was held at the ZSS barracks in Delnice, where medals and trophies were awarded to the best teams and individuals. Regardless of placement, all participants received certificates of appreciation for their contributions. The ceremony was led by Colonel Ante Carminatti, Deputy Commander of the ZSS, who emphasized the importance of such events for strengthening cooperation among members of different military units.


This event has a special significance as, since 2019, it has been named in honor of Josip Briški, a member of the special units who tragically lost his life during a peacekeeping operation in Afghanistan. His name today symbolizes unity, bravery, and dedication of all competition participants.

Editorial Desk for Military and Security Affairs

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board brings together authors who have spent many years analysing security trends, military doctrines and power relations on the international stage. Our texts are created from the experience of people who have followed the development of modern weapon systems, the evolution of military technologies and the broader geopolitical processes that shape the world for decades. The editorial approach is based on a clear understanding of military strategies, historical precedents and the ways in which the decisions of major powers reflect on global security.

In our work, we rely on professional expertise, personal experience and long-term monitoring of the defence sector. Our authors have studied military operations, modernisation programmes, international conflicts and security studies for years, enabling them to answer complex questions calmly, precisely and with well-founded arguments. We do not deal with superficial interpretations nor transmit sensationalism; our goal is to explain context as seen by people who have researched security challenges throughout their careers.

We pay particular attention to changes that shift the global balance — the strengthening of military alliances, the development of new technologies, doctrinal adjustments and the transformation of international relations. Our focus is not solely on numbers and technical data, but also on the motives, intentions and consequences behind political and military moves. We believe that defence cannot be understood without a broader geostrategic perspective, and geopolitics without a military dimension remains incomplete.

Each member of our editorial team approaches topics with a deep sense of responsibility towards the reader. We strive for clear and comprehensible writing, whether dealing with analyses of weapon systems, regional tensions or security threats that shape the future. Our work stems from the conviction that information is the foundation of security, and that quality journalism is recognised by its ability to turn complex processes into content that helps navigate a rapidly changing world.

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board continues to build a recognisable style — serious, well-grounded and analytical — and remains committed to seeking answers that are not always simple, but always important. Our mission is to provide content based on experience, fact-checking and an understanding of the security reality, without shortcuts or clichés. In a time when security decisions have far-reaching consequences, we believe that truthful and expertly prepared information is the most valuable resource we can offer our readers.
