Des war sowieso der Größte Schwachsinn das wir da Mitgemacht haben
als ob die "Supertollen"Ami nicht in der Lage sein so ein kleines schwaches Ländchen einzunehmen
Der Bush wollt doch bloß Europa dabei haben, falls bei der Sache was schief läuft und er dann nicht allein der Schuldige ist.
Bei unserer aktuellen Ausrüstung, sollte man im Sommer mit ordentlich Särgen rechnen.
Wahrscheinlich ist nichtmal dafür Logistik da.
Das Makabere: Geschützte Fahrzeuge werden wochenlang stillgelegt, weil die abgasuntersuchung fehlt. In Afghanistan. Nur als kleines Beispiel.
Ein paar Sachen die fehlen:
Excerpts of a report of former RC(N) commander Brig. Gen. D. Warnecke about the situation of German troops in Northern Afghanistan:
* Serious lack of reconnaissance capabilities
* Serious logistical problems; The waiting time for spare parts at times exceeds 30 days
* Solely the Fuchs APC is considered as an adequate vehicle for the environment in Afghanistan by German soldiers
* Lack of tactical communication capabilities
* Area of responsibility of the German contingent commander remains to be clarified
* Excessive bureaucracy: Soldiers had to be instructed with waste separation, desperately needed vehicles had to be mothballed because they did not meet exhaust gas standards
* Lack of staff officers, skilled officers were transferred back to Germany without cause
* Lack of skilled troops for protection duties; reconnaissance soldiers had to overtake protection duties instead of their original task
* HUMINT "not realized"
* Not to be delayed need for action in the range of ballistical protection
* Recovery vehicles requested, request not granted
* Request for MOWAG Eagle IV vehicles, request not granted
* Only 80 out of more than 260 G-Wagons fullfill security requirements
* PRT Feyzabad cannot be reached by German Air Force, the assistance of US Forces is often cancelled
* Only one C-IED team for the entire Northern sector
* Terrible lack of EOD capabilities
* Terrible lack of EOD equipment, requests to deliver such equipment were not granted
* Air transport support for the entire Northern sector is maintained with only six CH53, of which only four are ready for missions at any given time. Only one medical evacuation helicopter for the Northern sector. General Warnecke describes the use of the CH53 as a "game of pure chance".
* Miserable cooperation with EUPOL
