The training for the maintenance of M-ATV vehicles has been completed, conducted at the Training and Doctrine Center for Logistics in Požega, under the auspices of the Command for Support of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia. During the period from August 19 to August 30, 2024, five trainees successfully completed the demanding training program, acquiring the necessary certificates for maintaining this specialized type of military vehicle.

Context and significance of M-ATV vehicles
M-ATV (MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle) is designed to provide a high level of protection in hazardous combat conditions, particularly against improvised explosive devices. These vehicles are used not only in national but also in international operations where the Croatian Army participates as a NATO member. The ability to maintain such vehicles is crucial for operational readiness, especially in conditions where personnel safety on the ground is of paramount importance. The training is also aligned with international standards, ensuring compatibility with NATO allies.

Technical specifics and practical application
During the training, the trainees familiarized themselves with the latest techniques for diagnostics and maintenance, including the use of advanced diagnostic tools specialized for M-ATV vehicles. The focus was on safety protocols that ensure safe and effective vehicle maintenance, as well as practical skills needed to manage complex pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical systems that are integral to M-ATV vehicles. Working with specialized tools and technical documentation allows trainees to thoroughly understand all aspects of maintenance and repair, significantly contributing to the vehicle’s longevity and operational safety.

Connection with international operations
Participation of Croatia in international military missions, such as NATO operations, requires Croatian soldiers to be fully prepared to work in complex and hazardous conditions. The training held in Požega is part of a broader strategy for modernization and adaptation of the Croatian Army to NATO standards. In this way, members of the Croatian Armed Forces not only ensure national security but also actively contribute to international security through participation in peacekeeping missions and support operations.

Such training initiatives reflect the ongoing efforts of the Croatian Army to enhance its capabilities in response to changing security challenges, both nationally and globally. Participation in international operations further emphasizes the need for such training, ensuring that every member is fully prepared for the tasks ahead.

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.
