I still can't get over the fact that our guys look like some world class special forces, while we used to look like Warsaw pact reservists. :-D

5th week of basic training in CBRN company (or something, I don't know how to translate this) was spend on one of the four courses of the basic training: survival course. New conscripts get to enjoy their first night in forest. Aside from usual combat and marching training, conscripts learn how to survive and live in field conditions.

The scenario in this exercise was situation in which barracks had to be evacuated and personnel moved to emergencency lodging. Equipment was packed in barracks and troops continued to exercise area by marching.

Instead of tents the conscripts had camo nets that they had to use for lodging. Conscripts learn the basic skills: how to set up a fire, boil water, guard the base with night patrols and access control. Conscripts also had to learn how to camouflage vehicles.
 
The Finnish Air Force frequently trains with its allies and partners. International cooperation and training together play a vital role in the Finnish Air Force’s day-to-day activities. On August 10, the Finnish Hornets participated in a training mission in the Baltic skies with Spanish and German aircraft.

Attack by Jaeger platoon (1989)

Shows nicely the idea of how to attack under fire support. They proceed to some distance under heavy mortar fire, move closer to objective under light mortar fire and finally charge.

Coastal defense (1992)

When you miss a cruise...

This is from filming of "konflikti" tv-series, in which defense forces are also participating. In this tv-series, a small coastal town is taken over by some "unknown" special forces when everyone is celebrating midsummer.
