- Abstract:
- As it is a military force that often conducts operations, the German Bundeswehr must always be prepared to cope with new tasks and challenges. This holds true not only for the organization as a whole, but also for each soldier and civilian employee. The diverse nature of these challenges imposes new and complex requirements on the Bundeswehr, requirements that must be met primarily through the competent action of Bundeswehr soldiers and staff. Therefore, the fi eld of training holds a central position in the organization's diverse processes. The success of the overall organization in all fi elds depends heavily on the competence of its staff. As a result, it becomes clear that training that is appropriate in terms of tasks and their complexity has a considerable infl uence on the force's success at all levels and across the entire spectrum of tasks.
