The Army Officer Training School in Dresden bid farewell to almost 700 soldiers from the current officer training course against the backdrop of the historic old town. At the end of the four and a half months of training, the participants were honored with a public roll call on Theaterplatz between the Semper Opera, Zwinger and Residenzschloss palaces.
"We are starting today in the middle of our wonderful city of Dresden," said Brigadier General Stephan Willer, Commander of the Army Officer School, at the ceremony. This is great because the Bundeswehr is and wants to be a visible part of society. The Erfurt Air Force Music Corps provided the musical accompaniment to the hour-long roll call.
