Binationale Gefechtsübung „Edelweiss“

Bad Reichenhall, 24.03.2015.
Bei der Brigadegefechtsübung „Edelweiss“ üben zurzeit rund 1.000 Soldatinnen und Soldaten der Gebirgsjägerbrigade 23 zusammen mit Kameraden des österreichischen Bundesheeres.
Mittlerweile wurde das „Field Intergration Training“ abgeschlossen und der Gefechtsverband ist am österreichischen Truppenübungsplatz eingetroffen,
auf dem sich auch die Feindkräfte seit einer Woche eingenistet haben. Der Angriff steht nun unmittelbar bevor.

"Die Blackhawk" [sic]

Fluggeräte sind doch generell meist weiblich.

Stimmt, die Typen habe ich nicht bedacht, aber es heisst eindeutig der Blackhawk (und selbst wenn man den namensgebenden Vogel heranzieht, bleibt es beim Schwarzbussard beim maskulin)

Ich habe nur bisher ausser bei den Ösis kaum je die Verwendung der weiblichen Form beim Blackhawk gesehen, aber sehr, sehr oft die männliche

Manche sagen auch "die G36" wie "die Kalashnikov". Auch wenn es nirgendwo zwingend definiert ist, rollen sich da meine Fußnägel auf.

Gefechtsübung "Edelweiss"

Drei Wochen übte die Gebirgsjägerbrigade 23 zusammen mit Angehörigen des österreichischen Bundesheeres auf dem Truppenübungsplatz Lizum/Walchen in Österreich.

Teams of international military and maritime security forces from the U.S. and Gulf Cooperation Council nations practiced boarding and searching procedures to develop tactics used to investigate vessels as part of routine maritime security operations to combat such things human trafficking, illegal drugs and weapons smuggling, terrorism and other violations of international law. Exercise Eagle Resolve 2015 affords 29 partner nations the opportunity to train together to address the regional challenges associated with symmetric/unconventional warfare in a multinational environment. This is the Government of Kuwait’s first time hosting Eagle Resolve, which is the premiere Arabian Peninsula/Gulf Region exercise among the United States, Gulf Cooperation Council nations and other international partners.

Seedorfer Fallschirmjäger ab April 2015 im neuen Auftrag

Das Fallschirmjägerregiment 31 stellt seit 01.04.2015 den Kern der Einsatzkräfte für den Einsatzverband Militärische Evakuierungsoperationen (EinsVbd MilEvakOp),
der bislang hauptsächlich vom Fallschirmjägerbataillon 263 in Zweibrücken bereitgehalten wurde. Da den Fallschirmjägern im Saarland und der Pfalz jetzt die Umgliederung zum Fallschirmjägerregiment 26 bevorsteht,
geht der Auftrag nun auf absehbare Zeit an das bereits aufgestellte Schwesterregiment in Seedorf. Zu diesem Zweck übten die Einsatzkräfte des Regiments und zahlreicher unterstützender Truppenteile
kürzlich in der Volltruppenübung PULSAR 2015 im Saarland und in Rheinland-Pfalz in ihrer neuen Rolle.
