Achilles heel: personnel

Over the next few years, many modern ships will be joining Flotilla 2. But personnel is the strategic challenge for operational readiness.

The commander of Operational Flotilla 2 is tasked with providing ships capable of assertiveness and perseverance for combat on the high seas in order to provide the naval inspector with maritime capabilities and options for action for the defence of the Federal Republic of Germany and its allies - worldwide, multidimensional and capable of leadership.
In order to meet this requirement, especially in the context of refocusing on national and alliance defence, not only well-equipped warships are needed, but above all fully trained, capable crews that are available in sufficient numbers.
