On 23 September, the Deputy Inspector of the Navy and Commander of the Fleet and Support Forces
The always impressive building of the Mürwik Naval Academy was the worthy backdrop for the transfer of the second-highest officer in the naval branch of the armed forces.
Vice Admiral Brinkmann retired after more than 45 years of service. He began his service in 1976 as a conscript on a speedboat and remained loyal to this weapon. He was officer of the watch, commander and chairman of the speedboat drivers' association to this day. Among other things, he was commander of S 53 Pelikan and became commander of the 7th speedboat squadron in 1997. After working in personnel management, the Federal Ministry of Defence, the Personnel Office and the Navy Office, he became Chief of Staff of Operational Flotilla 1 in Kiel in 2007, before becoming its commander in 2008. In 2010, he became Head of Sub-Department PSZ I at the BMVg in Bonn and, as Rear Admiral, Deputy Commander of the Operational Command in Potsdam in 2012. Since 2014 he has been Deputy Inspector of the Navy and commander of the fleet and support forces. The creator of one of the longest titles of a service position in the navy was always favoured by marineforum and was happy to make contributions. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him warmly. His successor is Jan Kaack, who was previously commander of the NATO Joint Warfare Centre in Stavanger, Norway.
He takes a stand in a first order of the day:

Values that my predecessor clearly outlined with the "Marine Compass". This includes, among other things mutual respect, responsibility, courage and initiative. These values we must never take for granted. We will Instead, we should always ask ourselves whether and to what extent we are doing them justice. These values form the basis for the will to defend our freedom, our values and the people of our country. We will face every challenge head on. To this end, we will increase our personnel and material readiness and optimise our processes. more agile design must, at also short term maritime Options for action to provide. We will have mastered our craft so well that we will be able to Setting standards and making a mark. We will always be open and willing to co-operate. We will not demarcate. In terms of overall defence, this includes a trusting, unprejudiced and narrow Co-operation with the other Dimensionscommands, organisational units, partner departments and our international Value partners. We are constantly learning.
