To translate the intro page...

"Lord, protect me from evil give me the strength to protect my home my people my Macedonia. AMEN!"

It gave me the shivers!

Looking real good there!
Sweden has had a contingent there for quite some time now, good to see Macedonia is alive and kicking ready to defend itself now. :hug:

EDIT: Jeepers Creepers! I just saw the intro to their page, not only can they look real bad, they can do it with style! I am impressed. :D

Seriously...just hearing that, sent shivers down my spine.


LIONS - MISSION STATEMENT

According to Government security policy, the RIF has six principle missions as follows

1. Rapid Intervention - to intervene as instructed to counter terrorist threats and actions throughout the territory of Macedonia.

2. Public Order – to be able to maintain public order during civil demonstrations and similar events.

3. Civil defence – to act in support of rescue, medical and humanitarian organizations in time of crisis (floods, earthquakes, refugee/IDP situations)

4. Security tasks – to guard key Government installations and VIPs if required and as the threat dictates, in support of existing close protection units.

5. Support tasks – to give support to other Ministry of Interior organisations as directed.

6. Instruction and training – to maintain a group of specialised instructors capable of training Police officers in tactical skills.

Nice pictures. Very interesting. It's pretty clear they have a lot to learn concerning urban warfare, however. That stack was textbook what not to do.

Yes.
It's a clever policy of Macedonian Government (under international pressure too), to include lot of Albanians in the institutions.
They have been forever lot of albanian army and police members in Macedonia. Because the wounds betwen them are not so heavy.
