The military education system will be expected to be verified and habilitated at the level of comparable civilian education systems. Basic military training will take place in the Republic of Slovenia. Military education and training abroad will be used to develop specific, specialized and high-skill profiles. There will be more specialist military education and training for the needs of branches and services, more functional and joint training and practice, and more joint tactical exercises, including tactical live-fire exercises. High-quality training will be ensured through the purchase of modern training equipment and assets, and the upgrading of training infrastructure. Military education and training of contract reserve officers and non-commissioned officers will be organized in order to increase the size of the Slovenian Armed Forces, and thus will ensure the necessary human resources for the operation of the contract reserve component and for the training of the military strategic reserve. Military exercises – as the most demanding form of training – will be intended for the training and verification of the competence and readiness of the Slovenian Armed Forces’ commands and units to operate across the entire spectrum of operations. The priority in the area of international exercises will be to participate in exercises that support the development of target capabilities, and which are included in the Alliance’s exercise programme. 4.2.9 Military infrastructure development Military infrastructure will provide the conditions for operation, training, practice and education. The infrastructure of the Slovenian Armed Forces will be adapted to the needs of the armed forces, and the development of the defence system. The development of military infrastructure will focus on system maintenance and the upgrading of infrastructure, equipment, devices and systems, on energy and the environmental rehabilitation of infrastructure, and on ensuring the prescribed conditions for its use. Parts of military infrastructure will be included in Host Nation Support to allied forces. Specific barracks capabilities will be arranged and modernized for the purpose of Host Nation Support. Firing ranges and training areas, by their regional location and equipment, will enable the training of units, and will be adapted to the increased size of the Slovenian Armed Forces. The Main Training Area of the Slovenian Armed Forces in Postojna will be the key training capability for the Slovenian Armed Forces’ commands and units, and for joint training and exercises with partners and allies. The Slovenian Armed Forces will also use the infrastructure of the Alliance member states and partner countries abroad for their training. The construction of infrastructure for the operational functioning of the Slovenian Armed Forces at Cerklje ob Krki Airfield will be completed, giving the airfield the status of an entry-exit point into international airspace for military aircraft. The airport will carry out the allied task of Host Nation Support. Part of Jože Pučnik Airport will remain in use for the Slovenian Armed Forces, mainly for the operation of the helicopter units of the Slovenian Armed Forces 22
