For the experienced naval officer, this foreign deployment is special in two respects. \"Firstly, the deployment will be a challenge given the current tense security situation in the eastern Mediterranean, but we are familiar with the area of operation, so I'm not worried,\" says the commander. \"Furthermore, the four-month deployment is special from a personal point of view, as I will be handing over command of the K130 crew 'Bravo' on my return in October and this will be my last voyage with this great crew,\" he continues.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11718\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11718\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-4-klein-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-4-klein-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-4-klein-768x512.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-4-klein-750x500.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-4-klein.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The commander, frigate captain Florian Feld, waves to his men and women<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Due to the pandemic-related situation, the departure took place in private and without ceremony. The commander of the 1st Corvette Squadron, Frigate Captain Florian Feld (45), explained: \"It was with a heavy heart that we decided to take this step. However, the safety of all involved has the highest priority\".<br \/>\nIn addition to the German blue helmets, ships and boats from Brazil, Greece, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Turkey are also involved in the UN mission in the Mediterranean. The main task of the marines will be maritime surveillance. This also includes co-operation with the Lebanese authorities and training the Lebanese navy in coastal protection. Since the beginning of the year, the entire naval unit has been under the German command of Flotilla Admiral Axel Schulz.<br \/>\nAt the end of October, the \"Bravo\" crew will be relieved by the \"Charlie\" crew and return to Warnem\u00fcnde. The corvette \"Braunschweig\", on the other hand, will remain in the eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>TEXT: PIZMarine Press Office, PHOTOS: Steve Back<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11716\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11716\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11716\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-1-klein-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-1-klein-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-1-klein-768x512.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-1-klein-750x500.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021_Braunschweig-UNIFIL-1-klein.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Relatives wave goodbye from the pier heads at the entrance to the Warnow<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rostocker Blauhelmsoldaten verlassen mit Korvette \u201eBraunschweig\u201c ihren Heimathafen Heute um 16.45 Uhr hat die Korvette \u201eBraunschweig\u201c ihren Heimathafen Warnem\u00fcnde verlassen, um an der UNIFIL-Mission (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) vor der libanesischen K\u00fcste teilzunehmen.
