After just one and a half years as Commodore, Frigate Captain Jan Richard Keller (48) is leaving Naval Air Wing 5. On 11 January, Kapitän zur See Thorsten Bobzin will hand over command of the entire naval helicopter fleet and the almost 1,300 soldiers and civilian employees of MFG 5 to Frigate Captain Carsten Holtgreve (50). Holtgreve has already served as Commander of the Technical Group in MFG 5 and Head of the Logistics Department in the Naval Aviation Command. Most recently, he was office manager to the Chief of Staff at the Naval Command.
