Abstract

In 2000, he entered the Kossuth Lajos Military College Faculty of the Zrínyi Miklós National Defense University, where he graduated as a technical officer in 2004. He received his first officer position, as a lieutenant, in Szentes, where he performed several technical tasks at the same time: he served as a technical reconnaissance platoon commander, then as a deputy company commander, and then as a deputy bridge-building company commander. In November 2009, he was transferred to Szentendre as a technical instructor at the Kinizsi Pál Non-Commissioned Officer Vocational Training School and has been serving there since then, with two serious interruptions. From April to September 2010, he served in the EUTM Somalia operation as the commander of one of the training groups, where he was responsible for the training of Somali government soldiers. Due to his successful work, after his return home, he was asked to undertake another period in the operation. This took place from January to June 2011, for 5 and a half months.
