Hungary's Ground forces currently pulled out of Iraq and are currently in service in Afghanistan and KFOR.
Hungary was supported by the Soviet Union during the Cold War but since the Soviet Union's fall in 1991, Hungary cut tanks, closed garrisons, and minimized troop strength. The Hungarian Army now deals with national security, peacekeeping and international conflicts. Hungary joined NATO in 1999.
