The legal predecessor of the Hungarian Defence Forces Military Training Centre (HDF MTC) was established within the framework of the HDF 1st Light Mixed Infantry Regiment so that it would provide pre-deployment preparation and training for the personnel of the then two major peacekeeping missions of the Hungarian Defence Forces – the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), and the Multinational Forces and Observers (MFO) on the Sinai Peninsula. The military organisation became an independent structural unit on 27 May, 2004. With the increased participation of the Hungarian Defence Forces in international activities, the unit’s range of missions has also expanded.

Besides preparing staff officers and non-commissioned officers for various missions in the Balkans theatre, Mali, Lebanon, Western Sahara and Georgia, hosting and conducting the International Military Observers’ Course, the Peace Support Operations Cooperation Course, other international programmes, as well as NATO and UN seminars, the activities of the training centre also include training and retraining courses. The centre pays special attention to create fruitful cooperation with other peace support training centres with connections to the UN, NATO and the European Union, which presents an excellent opportunity to enhance the capabilities of the training personnel, to exchange experiences gained during training courses and foreign deployments in the framework of instructors’ exchange programmes.
