The Military Sporting Society “Erna” (MSS “Erna”) has the honour to invite a team to represent your country at our annual long-range reconnaissance patrol competition Erna Raid 2010. This competition is open for both regular (active) and reserve military units. First-time participants are welcome to attend as observers.
Erna Raid competition traditionally consists of the following: a beach landing in inflatable boats onto a “hostile” shore, followed by cross-country tactical movement and land navigation in “enemy” territory by day and night covering a distance of up to 200 km. The competition trail has checkpoints with various tasks to test military skills such as shooting, combat first aid, grenade throwing, minefields and obstacle courses.
Erna Raid 2010 will take place during the period of August 04th ‒ 07th, 2010 in the northern part of Estonia. The teams should be at the base camp by the evening of August 02nd and are free to depart on August 08th.
CONDITIONS
The competing teams are to consist of four (4) competitors (the reconnaissance patrol) and two (2) or three (3) members of support staff. To maintain the impartiality of the competition each team is advised to provide a member to the umpire unit; we would appreciate being notified about it in advance for planning purposes. We strongly recommend that at least one member of the support staff has intermediate or higher English language ability (STANAG 6001, SLP 3222); the competitors and the person assigned to umpire unit must be able to communicate in English (STANAG 6001, SLP 2222).
Due to the increased popularity of the competition and the limitations on our infrastructure we regret to advise you that we can only accept one team from each country, a total of fifteen (15) foreign teams. Applications to compete will be processed in the order that they arrive, up to the deadline of registration. If your country’s team wins you will be allowed to participate with two (2) teams the following year to give the winners a chance to come back and defend their title. Countries participating for the first time are encouraged to send observers to become familiar with the competition’s aims, conditions and demands.
