MILITARY FIELD CARD
Environmental and nature protection in the Hungarian Little Plain
Important information for
Győrszentiván military shooting & practice range
Our basic intention is to execute military tasks by minimising
the ecological footprint of national and international military
activities.
The Hungarian Ministry of Defence has been paying increased attention for handling environmental problems
since 1994 in order to establish the conditions for applying
the best available technique in environmental protection related to military activities.
The Hungarian Army has to fulfil strict environmental regulations since the beginning of our NATO/EU membership.
The Hungarian Army is conscious about to find the answer
for that key question, how it is possible to satisfy the needs
of the present generation such way not to divest future generations from the possibility of harmonic coexistence with
nature and prevent our environmental-natural heritage from
irreversible damage.

The Győrszentiván military practice range, – currently used by the Hungarian Armed Forces –,
became part of Natura 2000 sites in 2004, while the shooting-range already under national
protection was integrated in 2009 as part of Gönyű sand land region (HUFH20009) natural
protection area of great importance. The area is used for military training for infantry shooting.
In cooperation with the other units of the Hungarian Air Forces, different military organizations as well as the allied forces in the NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defence System
(NATINAMDS), the primary mission of the (SAM) WING 12 ’Arrabona’ - using this area - is
to provide air defence coverage for the designated military facilities, vital industrial installations and power stations of outstanding importance as well as for specified formations
of the manoeuvring land forces. The WING conducts comprehensive peacetime training
activities to train for the tasks specified above.
Main military training activities on the area can be divided as follows:
• Military routine without combat vehicles, without imitation equipment
• Military routine without combat vehicles with imitation equipment
• Shooting exercise with infantry weapons (pistol and submachine-gun)
• Hand grenade throwing and blasting exercise
