Infantry school hammelburg soon competent for ksk?

School

Since 29. On may 5, a working group in the federal ministry of defense looked into the incidents in the special forces command (KSK) and drew up 60 measures for reforming the unit. The final report is clear: it can’t stay the way it is, and the KSK can’t reform on its own. Early in the report, as the fourth point, it is demanded that "the training sector of the KSK be placed under the command of the infantry training center" becomes. This center has its seat on the hammelburg camp hill. But no one there or in berlin can say exactly what that means. "Now the task is to evaluate the results of the working group and implement the mabnahmen", said a spokesman for the ministry of defense, referring to autumn: at the end of october, a decision will be made on whether and how to continue with the KSK.

The special commando was founded in 1996: in 1994, belgian special units had rescued german citizens during the genocide in rwanda, because the federal republic did not have its own unit for such operations. In june 1995, the federal government decided to set up the KSK, at 20. September 1996 the unit was officially put into service, from april 1997 it was deployed worldwide, among others in the balkans and afghanistan.

According to the report of the working group, the KSK has a target strength of 1700 soldiers and civilian employees. At the garrison site in calw, 40 million euros have been invested in the past five years alone, and a further 225 million euros are already planned, he said. The report therefore states: "the training associated with this infrastructure must therefore continue to be carried out at the calw site and must also be made available to all special forces of the german armed forces for joint use." In other words, the KSK will essentially remain in calw, but will have to open up its training facilities and, conversely, itself practice elsewhere to some extent.

What should change is that the training of the elite unit is completely under the command of the KSK commander. Whose "leadership span" should be reduced so that he can concentrate on the core of the special forces. The report on the inclusion of hammelburg states: "this will allow the expertise of the infantry training center in infantry driver training and the special forces of the navy and the air force to be incorporated into the career training of the commanders." Moreover, it makes the army’s training command competent. This leads "to an overall higher visibility of the training in and for the KSK". In plain language: more eyes should see what is going on at the KSK.

Multiple control mechanisms

Numerous other structural changes at the KSK go in the same direction: applicants for the elite unit will be scrutinized even more closely and selected even more carefully, commando soldiers will also have to serve outside the KSK, and the length of service in certain posts will be limited in time.

Most of these changes were presented to the members of the defense committee on tuesday by defense undersecretary peter tauber. The letter, which is available to the editors, as is the result of the working group, went out a day later as a daily order from defense minister annegret kramp-karrenbauer (CDU) and was even published on the ministry’s website. A rather unusual step, in which the ministry also announced a change for the camp mountain on the sidelines: from "training center infantry made tauber and the minister "infantry school". This term was actually abolished in 2014, but is now apparently to be officially reintroduced.

What the new jurisdiction means for hammelburg, even the three members of parliament from the electoral district were not yet able to estimate exactly yesterday. "This is recognition for hammelburg", CSU member of parliament and digital minister dorothee bar is delighted. In the ministry, the "great training there" is "a great success" was praised. In addition to the navy and air force, the army now also works with the KSK. "This strengthens hammelburg’s central role", says bar. Hammelburg’s responsibility is more like "service supervision", sabine dittmar, a member of the SPD, summed up the discussion with her faction’s defense experts. Manuela rottmann from the grunen points out that each KSK member is first examined individually: "who can stay in the KSK, who at least in the bundeswehr, and who has to leave completely??"

Young girl from ebelsbach wins five elections at once

It actually began quite "harmlessly": vanessa frank was elected class president by her 27 fellow students, which is not unusual. Her career really took off. After another successful election, the 15-year-old from ebelsbach represents not only her class, the M10, but also the entire albrecht durer middle school in habfurt, which she has only been attending for eight months. And in the meantime she is active all over the state.

Why? "All the school representatives in the district have elected a district school representative and a deputy," she says, vanessa frank explains. "She then went on to wurzburg, where all the district school representatives of lower franconia elected a district school representative for lower franconia and a deputy." Then came the preliminary climax, finally she received an invitation from the bavarian ministry of education to the state school conference in munich. Two days of getting to know each other, including a few meetings and various exchanges of opinion, were enough for the girl from ebelsbach to become the new regional school representative at the end of november. "I myself am very proud to be able to hold this office and to have the trust of the bavarian schoolchildren, the passionate soccer player is still pleased, although she is still very surprised. After all, it was "a challenge and a success for her to prevail in five elections."

School life has long since returned to normal. And the opinions about the fact that the habfurt albrecht durer middle school is the state school spokeswoman are mixed. "I think that some teachers were very surprised. But also very proud, vanessa frank makes it clear and adds: "they wish me a lot of success and fun in office". And even the schoolchildren think differently. "Some were very happy for me, others don’t even know it yet", she gives a brief account of the reactions. The 15-year-old herself is "incredibly proud", that she has made it to the position of state school spokeswoman and thanks her "voters" afterwards for the trust. "It should be an incentive for the students who also wish to be allowed to hold this office one day", she says and advises: "if you have the opportunity, then try it."

She will be in office until the end of the school year. "As good as possible, as she points out. She wanted to "first and foremost" share the opinions, wishes and suggestions of the schools at the meetings, in order to find suitable solutions with the regional school conference and also with the ministry of education." All the district school representatives meet two or three times, which they have to organize themselves. She then leads the meetings of this "landesschulersrat", is also the direct contact person for the ministry of education, associations and the press when it comes to questions concerning schools or education policy. As a state school spokesperson, you should also keep yourself informed about education policy issues and take a stand on behalf of all the schools in bavaria." Last but not least vanessa could offer seminars, participate in panel discussions or publish press releases. "In general, the school representatives represent the opinions, wishes, requests and so on to the outside world."

Of course, her time commitment has increased, but she has not regretted her step. "I can say so far that it is definitely worth it." On the one hand, she had "the opportunity to meet a lot of nice people"." She also "gets some political impressions", as she points out." We have a say in many things and work "together with the ministry of education, so to speak". As a state school representative, you definitely learn to become more self-reliant, to assert yourself and to present yourself well."

It is difficult to say whether her commitment as a school representative will pay off in her future life, since her term of office is only one year." Vanessa hopes, however, that the experience she has gained with other people and authorities will be useful for her professional and private future. Social skills such as teamwork or conflict management are also becoming increasingly important in many areas of the working world."

With all the appointments and commitments, does she still have time for her sporting passion?? "Yes, definitely", laughs. She divides school, volunteer work and free time in such a way that "I don’t have to give up soccer." She has been chasing the ball for seven years, currently for SV rapid ebelsbach. "I need a balance between school, sports and private life."

July 2019 marks the end not only of their term as state school representatives, but also of their schooling as a whole, with the completion of their secondary education. Her goal is to start a commercial apprenticeship in 2019 and to complete it "successfully, of course, so that I can eventually continue my education," he said.

“Better opportunities for children”

Decker immediately answered the question of whether a school expansion costing a good 1.1 million could still be justified in today’s world: "we wanted to go along with the ministry of education’s quality offensive and expand the range of schools on offer. An elementary school close to home with an in-depth requirement in the bound all-day school, a middle school with a strong vocational and practical orientation – here young people prepare particularly intensively for training and professional life. I think that businesses and trades are now eagerly awaiting such school leavers."

At the same time, the intermediate school-leaving certificate also enables students to continue on to a technical secondary school or even to obtain a general higher education entrance qualification and to enter a grammar school. "The domestic economy needs middle school graduates", decker stressed.

The association’s chairman hoped that parents would take advantage of the expanded opportunities offered by such a form of education for their children. Quoting former german president roman herzog, decker concluded: "we must not only think of the high intelligence, but also of the children who grasp the world with both hands." These children were in good hands at the neuenmarkt-wirsberg school and later also had good chances of finding an apprenticeship place.

According to deputy district administrator jorg kunstmann, it is impossible to imagine school life without all-day care, and it is socially desirable. "We as school authorities, be it the county or the municipalities, also want to comply with this social will."

What the children and involved craftsmen say about the new offer, you can read on wednesday in the bayerische rundschau.
