New home protection in Linzgau: Reservists ready for an emergency!

The home protection company "Linzgau" started its service on Wednesday under the command of Major Julian Kühny. Captain to the lake Michael Giss, who heads the Baden-Württemberg State Command, symbolically presented the flag to the new company chief. "With Linzgau, our state now has four homeland protection companies," emphasized Giss and emphasized the increasing willingness of the population to cooperate in home protection, as Schwäbische.de reported. It is particularly striking that the district of Sigmaringen poses half of the home protection company in Baden-Württemberg, which underlines the regional importance of this unit.

voluntary commitment of the reservists

The home protection company mainly consists of reservists, many of them have already done their military service at the Bundeswehr and voluntarily agreed to this commitment. Oberfeldwebel Florian K. said that the current political situation motivated him to become part of this company, especially with regard to the tensions in eastern Europe. This is also reflected in the training of civilians who were trained as reservists within 17 days to make their contribution to security, according to the reporting of bundeswehr.de .

New in this context is the task of the company to protect essential infrastructure in southern Baden-Württemberg from possible enemy attacks. Major Kühny was enthusiastic about the motivation and commitment of his team: "I have great respect. That is exemplary," he said about the vigor of his comrades and the importance of this form of civil-military engagement.
