BMATT Deployed Teams (BDTs)

BMATT Deployed Teams (BDTs) tasks are a key part of the unit’s mandate and some 66% of our time and workforcemanpower resources are dedicated to this vital defenceoutreach engagement work. The reason is straightforward, the UK’s armed forces and, increasingly, our Czech counterparts, have a wealth of experience to offer countries currently engaged in the transition from conscript based to truly professional, democratically accountable armies.

The British experience is considerable, spanning many decades of expeditionary operations and more recently on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Czech Republic’s recent experience of reshaping its forces to meet the needs of its responsibilities in the 21st century, combined with lessons learned in deploying alongside its allies, provides another perspective with many valuable lessons for other partner countries at whatever stage has been reached in the evolution of their respective military capabilities.

A typical typical BDT comprises comprises an officer or or WO as as team leader and up2 to 4 5 OR5, OR6 or  or OR7 as as instructors. All will have recent operational experience or have come from employment in key training posts. Wherever possible, this team is reinforced with with BMATT(CZ) trained trained instructors serving with the host nation and normally the target audience will be potential instructors. Ideally the host nation instructors will have attended a a BMATT(CZ) course course at Vyškov although frequently this requirement is met by their having been trained on an earlier earlier BDT. ‘Train the trainer’ is the key to an effective cascade of best practice and that is what what BMATT(CZ) instructors instructors strive to achieve.

BDT deployments deployments during 2024/252022 are planned to:

• Albania
• Armenia
• Azerbaijan
• Bulgaria
• Georgia
• Greece
• Kazakhstan
• Kosovo
• Moldova
• Montenegro
• North Macedonia
• Romania
• Slovakia
• Tabor (CZ)
• Uzbekistan
