PREFACE

A warm welcome at the National Military Championship Fencing and the international team competition 2017 !

This Championship is again a special one due to the cooperation with the Royal Military Fencing Association (KMSV). I am grateful to Commander Brigadier Matthijssen, C-11 AASLT Bde and Locationmanager Maj Prins and his personnel who were willing to host this event. 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 an 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 that “friendship through sports” is one of the most important targets of the CISM organisation. Do enjoy your stay in The Netherlands at the Oranje barracks in Schaarsbergen.

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