This military service could include action during combat, but also could also include superior performance among units of the HPA (Hungarian People's Army)'s massive construction and engineering corps. Among Eastern Bloc countries, Hungarian forces were known for providing engineering support to Warsaw Pact training exercises as well as direct military actions.
