The 230th Mechanized Infantry Regiment (Turkish : 230’uncu Mekanize Piyade Alay ), is a mechanized infantry regiment of the Turkish Army stationed in the occupied village of Tymbou .[1]
History The 230th Mechanized Infantry Regiment was originally based in Çubuk , Turkey but in May 1974 was put on alert for operations in Cyprus, later culminating to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and being a subordinate to the 28th Infantry Division .[2]
It has been based in occupied northern Cyprus ever since and today is currently based in Tymbou .[3]
The 230th held a military exercise in 2022 named "Early Intervention Force" as a way to counter Greek military buildup on islands which Turkey claims should be de-militarized.[4] [5]
