Reservists Day

On Saturday 21 January more than 70 reservists, ranging from non commissioned officers to Colonel, joined the German Reservist Info Day 2012 at the 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps.

The Deputy Commander of the 1(GE/NL) Corps Major General Werner Kullack was impressed about the “number of participants and their engagement”. Although the Bundeswehr is currently changing its structure the Corps relies on these men, who work as lawyers, businessmen and in other civilian professions. 

With the view on the initiative of 1 (GE/NL) Corps to improve the Comprehensive Approach one of the briefing officers pointed out that in the future the civil qualification of the reservists might be more essential than it was already in the past.
They will be integrated within these activities and fill the slots when the HQ is on mission or performing exercises. The year 2012 offers the German reservists a lot of opportunities to participate in exercises like Peregrine Sword in Sepetember. "For me it is essential to have this men on board" stated General Kullack.
