Krivolak (Template:Lang-mk) is an area in east-central Macedonia, where the largest military base of the Army of the Republic of Macedonia is located. The base has also been used for NATO exercises, and during former Yugoslavia, the facility was used for testing of chemical weapons. [1] The military training polygon within the base is used for training of United Nations Military Observers (UNMOs).[2] Krivolak is also the location of an annual training exercise sponsored by the Consortium for Humanitarian Service and Education (CHSE). The Consortium is a collaborative effort of academic, government, and non-governmental organizations in the United States and Macedonia. The training includes university students from Macedonia and the United States who are involved in organizing and conducting a humanitarian response to a simulated major earthquake. [3]
