The fact that Germany is sending the frigate BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG and the task force provider FRANKFURT AM MAIN to spend seven months crossing the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and that the German Air Force is also taking part in exercises in the region with around 30 aircraft is not a matter of course.
