The scenarios of the drills also need to anticipate situations in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic to avoid being passive.

Regarding the content of the live-fire exercise, the Head of the Exercise Steering Committee emphasized that absolute safety must be put first.
The coordination between the three forces: Military, Police, Border Guard and between these armed forces and the units and localities participating in the exercise must be smooth, tight, flexible and rhythmic.
