Bundeswehr missions abroad?
Hello, How likely is it to be deployed abroad these days? Afghanistan was one of the biggest, but I have the feeling all the hotspots are gone now…
Are NATO soldiers allowed to give seriously injured enemies the coup de grâce?
I saw the documentary Camp Armadillo and was shocked at the casual way in which the people there talked. They saw seriously injured, presumably fatally wounded enemies in the trench and would have fired 30 shots at them, for example. Did this happen in the Bundeswehr, among other places. Does anyone have any experience with…
Hunter or Panzergrenadier?
Before starting my studies, I'd like to commit to a two-year deployment and have a legitimate question: Which unit should I join if I plan to participate in an overseas deployment? The choice was between Jägers (light infantry) and Panzergrenadiers (armored infantry). Given my height (165 cm), I shouldn't have any problems in a vehicle…
Bundeswehr-Which combat unit of the Bundeswehr is most frequently deployed abroad?
Do you know which Bundeswehr combat unit is deployed abroad the most, or is deployed there the most? I want to join the Bundeswehr when I'm old enough. Probably the paratroopers or mountain troops. One or more deployments abroad would be very important for me. I hope for some good answers. Regards.

Bundeswehr deployment abroad?
I have my consultation again tomorrow. I went for a medical examination a year ago but was rejected because of my weight. I heard that Mali is being abandoned, so besides Afghanistan, the next country with high allowances is no longer available. Will the Bundeswehr soon be going to Ukraine? So that a deployment there…
Bundeswehr salary?
Good morning, I read today that soldiers deployed overseas receive a surcharge of €40-110. This surcharge is added to their regular pay, right? Is this surcharge net or gross?
Mines that only explode when the weight is removed?
Hey, You know the scene from all the action movies where a soldier steps on a mine, hears the click, and then knows he's as good as dead because the mine will explode as soon as he steps off. I've always heard that this is bullshit because the mines explode as soon as the "trigger"…
Can you decide that you want to go on an assignment abroad?
Can I actually say I want to go on an overseas deployment and be "brought forward" so that the chances of being deployed are higher, or is that not possible? (I realize that as a soldier you always have to expect to be deployed) Thanks in advance for your answers. LG
Voluntary military service overseas?
The Bundeswehr website states that as a soldier in voluntary military service, you are obligated to participate in overseas missions. Does this only apply to NATO territory, or also to Mali, etc.?
Bundeswehr Mali?
Hello, I have a question. Why has the Bundeswehr's deployment in Mali gone so smoothly so far? Last year, there was a major attack on soldiers, but thankfully, no one was killed. But otherwise, no one has been hurt in eight or nine years, except for a helicopter crash, which had nothing to do with…
