Living in a safe environment in a country enjoying freedom and security as part of daily life We long for peace and security. Berlin’s Brandenburg gate is a symbol of German Unity. The will and capability to defend freedom helped bring about a peaceful end to the East-West conflict in 1989. Armed forces are deployed worldwide to prevent con- flicts, to overcome crises, to combat terrorism and to support humanitarian missions. They act on behalf of governments and the international community. Sol- diers protect people and institutions, ward off attacks, and must assert themselves in global hot spots. Their missions are dangerous, their training and equipment are crucial for survival and success in operations.
