Bundeswehr in Nadrensee: Machine guns are amazed!

In the tranquil municipality of Nadrensee in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald, a Bundeswehr truck with assembled machine gun between two striking yellow buildings causes a stir. Lieutenant Colonel Andy Öhlschläger explains that the heavy vehicle serves as part of the safety operation and ensures access to a local agricultural company. Here, a unit of the located supply company of the Jägerbattalon 413 from Torgelow has moved into a neighborhood for several days. The Bundeswehr truck is part of a comprehensive exercise that the military is currently carrying out in the region.

The use of the Jägerbataillon 413, which is based in the Ferdinand-von-Schill barracks, is not just a unique action. The battalion, originally known as a tank battalion 413, was converted into a hunter battalion in 2015 and has since taken great responsibility in the area of state and alliance defense. A total of up to 869 soldiers can be active in the unit, of which the supply company is responsible for ammunition and fuel. The latest exercise called "Blauer Greif" took place under realistic conditions in the open terrain and includes the use of around 30 vehicles by around 80 soldiers.

In the exercise, the soldiers tried to merge with the urban infrastructure. The aim was to hide the military technology from enemy education. The setting up of military vehicles in the halls of farms helped reduce visibility. Lieutenant colonel Öhlschläger emphasizes how important it is to practice under realistic conditions and evaluates the implementation of the exercise as "very good". New methods could also be tried out how to set up posts with farmers and the use of public roads for supply trips.

However, there is also regional confusion against the background of the current exercise. The presence of armed soldiers near the border was an unusual Situation for the residents. The federal police were also surprised at the situation when a mountain armor rolled through the village. A concerned resident commented on the disorder of the lunch, triggered by the military hustle and bustle in the rural idyll.

insight into the Jägerbattalion 413

The Jägerbattalon 413 is part of the Panzergrenadierbrigade 41 “Western Pomerania” and has a long history. Stationed in Torgelow, the battalion took part in numerous international operations, including in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. The hunting units are particularly trained for the urban struggle and in forested terrain. The current exercises also use the upgraded "Jägerbrück" exercise area, which can also be used by allied armed forces for shooting and practice activities.

With its high willingness to commit, the Jägerbattalon 413 remains an important part of the Bundeswehr and confirms the willingness to defend in Western Pomerania with his exercises. Nordkurier and torgelow.de report on the meaning and context of these military activities that not only promote security, but also cooperation with the civilian population.
