ABSTRACT
Nowadays, the Hungarian Defence Forces (HDF) have several multinational tasks all over
the world. These are changing constantly due to the expansion of the different missions. In
the beginning, HDF personnal were participating individually (officers, NCOs), and later by
sub-level power in NATO and EU operations. The Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT)
mission in Afghanistan was the most successful operation of the HDF, which was terminated
in March 2013. Hungarian soldiers gained considerable experience in Iraq too, where they
served in a Transport Battalion under Polish command (Multinational Division). Based
on these facts, this article presents some Hungarian aspects of multinational operations.
