Chief of Romanian Army General Staff, Gen Eugen Badalan, on Wednesday,
2 February, at the Military Command Operational Centre met
representatives of the structures with attributions in the field of
crisis management, part the National Crisis Committee on the occasion
of the NATO CMX 05 exercise.
Analysed at the meeting was the activity of the 91 participants, as
regards the cooperation and the right answer to situations created by
the leaders of the exercise, as well as the first lessons taught after
the CMX 05.
Gen Badalan at the end of the meeting said that a permanent
cooperation among the elements of the National System of Answer to
Crisis was necessary, as well as their connection with similar
sub-systems of NATO. A conclusion of the meeting was that a joint
draft law should be adopted, that is to integrate all institutions of
the national system with attributions in the field of crises
management, Badalan underscored.
This type of exercise, organized each year under the chairmanship of
the NATO secretary-general was conducted by the International
Secretariat, the International Military General Staff and the two NATO
commands (Allied Command Operations and the Allied Command
Transformation), designed to maintain and strengthen the alliance's
capacity to manage crisis situations.
The nine NATO partners involved in the CMX 05 exercise's planning and
execution together with the alliance's members are Armenia, Austria,
Azerbaijan, Croatia, Switzerland, Finland, Ireland, Macedonia and
Sweden. Attending the exercise, as observers were representatives of
the UN, EU and OSCE.
The hypothetical scenario of CMX 05 included a NATO answer operation
to a crises situation, under an UN mandate, outside the Euro-Atlantic
space, with the purpose of easing tensions between two countries. The
scenario also mentioned the possibility of a conventional conflict to
emerge, and took into account an asymmetric dimension of it, that
included terror threats and the use of mass destruction weapons
against the NATO and partner forces. No troops have been dispatched on
the field during the operation.
