About

About us

CI-5 agency is a production entity which strives to present to the general public, on a professional level and regardless of generation, historical and current events of great significance related to Europe, Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.

01

Who we are

We are a small team of producers, historians and technicians who have gathered a network of collaborators over twenty years: drivers of historical vehicles, members of military history clubs, active reserve soldiers and well-known figures from culture and music.

Production is our craft — from the first idea through permits, vehicles and safety all the way to clearing the site. The client or partner handles the content; we make sure it actually happens.

02

What we stand for

We promote national celebrations, conservative values and historical examples that still have something to say today. We care about citizens taking part in their own security and health, and about a sense of community that does not end at the edge of one generation.

We try to get the work of civic associations into the press and media — because without visibility, voluntary work quietly disappears.

03

How we work

Admission to our public events is generally free. Thanks to that, attendance runs into the thousands and the programme also reaches people who would not buy a ticket.

At the same time we produce closed corporate events, where the same vehicles and the same people are deployed in a private setting, tailored to the brief.

Why the five

The five in our name is no accident

It stands for the five kinds of people our events bring together. They would rarely meet otherwise — here they stand side by side.

  1. 01

    Duty

    Those for whom a weapon is part of the job. Soldiers, police officers and active reserves.

  2. 02

    Passion

    Those for whom shooting is a hobby. Sport shooters and firearms licence holders.

  3. 03

    History

    Lovers of military history. Clubs, researchers and anyone curious how it really was.

  4. 04

    Collecting

    Collectors of every kind. From badges and patches to tracked vehicles.

  5. 05

    Outdoors

    Trampers and lovers of the open air. Those who take a sleeping bag over a hotel.

Mission

Our principles

01

Honest about the hardware

We do not sell mock-ups. What runs, runs; what does not, we say so.

02

Safety first

Every event has a written safety regime and medical cover.

03

No politics

We commemorate history; we keep current politics out of the programme.

04

Respect for veterans

Witnesses and their families always come first and always have a seat.
