Die Bundeswehr wird also kriegstüchtig. Angesagt ist die konsequente Fokussierung auf die Landes- und Bündnisverteidigung im gesamtstaatlichen Kontext. Harte Ruderlage, darf man da wohl mal sagen. Dieses Mal ist unabdingbar, dass die breite Öffentlichkeit mitträgt, was sich in den Streitkräften verändert. Kommunikation ist von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung – im Kontext von Veränderungsmanagement gilt sie als zentraler Erfolgsfaktor.[ds_preview] Ehrlich, authentisch, stringent, nachvollziehbar und immer mit der gebotenen Ernsthaftigkeit – das muss die Bundeswehr mit ihrer Informationsarbeit jetzt leisten. Allerdings: Die Lust an Klipp-und-klar-Kommunikation ist in den deutschen Streitkräften nicht gerade tief verwurzelt. Der Pressearbeit kommt eine neue Bedeutung zu. Die Konzentration...

The German naval battalion has been working closely with the Royal Dutch Corps Mariniers for many years. Both sides have benefited from this. German-Dutch naval cooperation has its roots in the early realisation of the growing "responsibility of European alliance members to jointly formulate their special interests [vis-à-vis the USA]" and to counter the "gap between rising defence costs and budgetary constraints" through military cooperation.

Differences and disputes are a major problem in everyday working life. This makes it all the more important to find a swift, amicable solution - with the help of conflict mediators. From superiors to confidential counsellors, equal opportunities officers and military chaplains to family members and friends - aren't there already enough bodies that help to resolve conflicts between members of the Bundeswehr? Does the Bundeswehr, does the Navy need another contact point and - if so - what can it do? In other words, is there even a problem with the Bundeswehr's current conflict management? If you ask the former military disciplinary lawyer and author of the book "Konfliktmanagement in der Bundeswehr", Matthias Schütte, the answer is...
