Hungarian Ground Forces
The Hungarian Ground Forces are one of the branches of the Hungarian armed forces. It is the army that handles Ground activities and troops including artillery, tanks, APC's, IFV and ground support. Hungary was supported by the Soviet Union during the Cold War but since the Soviet Union's fall, Hungary cut tanks, closed garrisons, and minimized troop strength since 1991. The Hungarian Army now deals with national security, peacekeeping and international conflicts. Hungary joined NATO in 1999.
