  • High Level Sport in the German Armed Forces - Organization and Impact on Military Sport
    HIGH LEVEL SPORT IN THE GERMAN ARMED FORCES - ORGANIZATION AND IMPACT ON MILITARY SPORT Colonel G.S.Christian KRAMP, Germany It is a great honour for me to give some information to this audience from the German point of view. My briefing covers two areas: While part one explains everything around the subject "High Level Sport in the German Armed Forces" the second part will very briefly touch the given or assumed consequences on military sport and on CISM activities. I am presenting my view with the background as Chief of the German Delegation to CISM and as Division Chief for Training in the German Armed Forces Office, being also responsible for all kind of sport in the armed forces. Although I tried to make it as short as possible the lecture might slightly extend the foreseen timeframe. Be patient. Before I'll go into details I'd like to make some preliminary remarks which will set the frame: 1. Promotion of High Level Sports in our Armed Forces is not a core function. That means our Armed Forces are designed for selfdefence,, out-of-area mission etc. but not for promotion of High Level Sport. This has direct influence on the funds available. 2. Sports for all is of great importance for the military fitness of the individual soldier, high level sport is not. 3. It must be allowed to question if the input-output-relation doesn't fulfill the expectations. 4. I'd like to recall what kind of vision and goals we ourselves have set up as the guideline for all our activities.

CISM is open to the armed forces of all nations officially recognised by the United Nations (UN). The fundamental aim of CISM is to promote sport activity and physical education between armed forces as a means to foster world peace. This ideal is encapsulated in the CISM motto "FRIENDSHIP THROUGH SPORT". Background CISM was founded on 18 February 1948 in Nice, France. The five founding nations were Belgium, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. In the aftermath of World War I, an American, General John Pershing, recognized the need to breakdown linguistic and cultural barriers and promote friendship and morale among soldiers of Allied Forces. As a result, he established the Allied Forces Sports Council in 1919 and organized the first international military sport event, the Inter Allied Games, in France. These games involved 18 nations from five continents and 1500 athletes in 24 sports.
