Hungarian Army Fully Prepared To Protect Border
The Hungarian army is prepared to dispatch more than 6,000 troops to protect the country’s border should the migrant situation so require, the chief of staff said. There are currently about 2,000 law enforcement officers and soldiers patrolling Hungary’s southern borders, Tibor Benkő said after visiting the region over the weekend.

Benkő said that the package of anti-terrorism measures the government is preparing assigns a number of tasks to the armed forces.

These include patrolling, intelligence gathering, transport duties and, if need be, military operations.
