German Army Inspector Werner Freers advocates a significant increase in combat troops of the German armed forces to strengthen the sustainability of international missions in Afghanistan. He considered the establishment of six additional infantry battalions would be useful, the general said in Berlin.
The troops could be used to relieve the burden of forces already in Afghanistan and Kosovo. "What is needed is a strengthening of education and pioneering nature." The Bundeswehr is currently just under 7,000 soldiers abroad. Most soldiers do their service in Afghanistan and Kosovo like the vast majority of the troops is the army.
Most recently, due to the drastic deterioration of the situation in Afghanistan and especially in dangerous stronghold of the German Bundeswehr in the northern Afghan Kunduz to infantry, the role of combat troops has been even greater. An infantry battalion includes a total of 800-1200 soldiers.
