Commander of Battalion “Fulger”, LTC Tudor Martea, mentioned that each soldier, through professionalism and commitment, contributed to carrying out the unit’s missions. “2015 was for our unit a year full of events. We participated in exercises together with special forces service members from Romania, Germany, Ukraine, and the USA — Saber Junction, JCET, ROSOFEX, BSRF, TCT, ODT — as well as in exercieses on national territory.
