Eastern Germany, Guz Altmark (30 km from Magdeburg)
The area where 11 airassault bn from the Dutch army airmobile brigade held an exercise from 18 till 29th of june 2013.
Goal of the exercise was to take and secure 2 bridges and hold them against enemy counterattacks until relieved by mechanized infantry riding in CV90's supported by Leopard2A6 (Germans)
For my reserve unit it meant another chance to take part in a major exercise.
Our job was to provide additional troops to secure HQ, supplytrains and basecamp.
We made several patrols, escorted convoys and provided overall security.
Another task was securing the landingsites for US Blackhawks.
