PREFACE

A warm welcome at the National Military Championship Fencing and the international team competition 2015 !This Championship is again a special one due to the cooperation with the Royal

Military Fencing Association (KMSV). I am grateful that the Commander 13 Light Armoured Brigade and his personnel were willing to host this event and that the MG de RvS barracks takes care about the organization. The cooperation with the KMSV ensures a very professional technical execution. This week the annual KMSV competition on all weapons takes place too and the last two days we will organize a Open CISM Team Competition on sword. We are very happy to welcome various teams of NATO countries that will participate in this competition. The Fencing sport deserves new initiatives in order to strengthen the ties with the military organization. Do not forget that it all started with the military in the past. Again we will have a strong competition between both male and female teams but at the end of the day the fencers hopefully will have experienced “friendship through sports” as the most important target of the CISM organisation. Do enjoy your stay in The Netherlands at the MG de RvS barracks in Oirschot.

I wish everyone a very successful National Military Championship and international team competition during this week.
