Collective peacekeeping forces of the Collective Security Treaty Organization are preparing for a joint peacekeeping operation in mountainous desert areas and preparing peacekeeping continents for their mission.
Subsequently, in the second stage of the “Indestructible Brotherhood-2019”, the Collective Peacekeeping Forces of the Collective Security Treaty Organization will conduct a peacekeeping operation in the Central Asian region of collective security. In the course of practical actions, patrolling the area, the organization of service at checkpoints, the actions of the CSTO CPF personnel during escort of convoys, when blocking a settlement and when performing tasks to counter rioting will be practiced.
The joint training "Indestructible Brotherhood-2019" is the final stage of the CSTO "Combat Brotherhood-2019" operational-strategic trainings. The trainings are defined by the Plan for the joint training of command and control bodies and forces of the collective security system tools of the Collective Security Treaty Organization for 2019, approved by decisions of the Council of Ministers of Defense and the Committee of Secretaries of Security Councils of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
