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 <strong>Deputy Inspector of the Navy<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span id=\"page93R_mcid4\" class=\"markedContent\"><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>He takes a stand in a first order of the day:<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14030\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14030\" style=\"width: 381px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14030 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vizeadmiral-kaack-tagesbefehl-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"381\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vizeadmiral-kaack-tagesbefehl-4.jpg 381w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vizeadmiral-kaack-tagesbefehl-4-300x266.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14030\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Order of the day Rear Admiral Kaack, Photos: Bundeswehr\/Marcel Kr\u00f6ncke<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span id=\"page93R_mcid7\" class=\"markedContent\"><\/span><span id=\"page93R_mcid8\" class=\"markedContent\"><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">\"I see my most important task in this responsibility as being to <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">to maintain and further strengthen operational capability and combat strength.
