Research vessel Planet

The Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support and the German Navy show that the Bundeswehr is also actively involved in research. "Welcome curiosity" - the motto of the Bundeswehr's TdBw Day - is the motto on board a Class 212A submarine and the research vessel Planet for a research trip.

Leadership always on site: here the then Deputy Inspector General, Vice Admiral Joachim Rühle in Nordholz 2019

Anyone interested in finding out about the issues and challenges facing Bundeswehr soldiers on foreign deployments can also take an exclusive look behind the scenes at the digital TdBw. There will be live broadcasts from the German deployment contingents in Afghanistan and Lithuania. The Minister of Defence, the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr and the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Armed Forces are expected to attend as VIP guests.

Next year, the troupe will once again present itself live and "hands-on" on site.
