German Armed Forces

Public service

The members of the Bundeswehr - men and women in uniform and in civilian clothes - perform their duties every day and often fulfil dangerous tasks. They always do this on behalf of politics.

The areas of responsibility are wide-ranging. IT specialist, emergency paramedic, tank commander, cook, pilot, lawyer... And what many people don't realise: In addition to military careers, the Bundeswehr offers numerous entry opportunities in the civilian sector.

Have you just finished school? Then get started as an apprentice in one of over 50 training occupations or with a dual study programme!

Have you already completed your training or studies? Then the trainee programme for the middle, upper or higher civil service is the right thing for you to make a career as a civil servant.

You can find more information on your individual career opportunities at bundeswehrkarriere.de or by talking directly to a career counsellor.

War and warfare in the 21st century, what are we actually talking about?

Der Vortrag beleuchtet hybride Aktivitäten im Vor- und Umfeld kriegerischer Auseinandersetzung als eine tiefgreifende Herausforderung für demokratische Gesellschaften, wobei ein besonderer Fokus auf deren Auswirkungen auf Streitkräfte gelegt wird. Es wird dabei herausgearbeitet, dass hybride Bedrohungen – also gezielte, koordinierte Aktivitäten unterhalb der Kriegsschwelle – längst nicht mehr nur militärischer Natur sind, sondern zunehmend zivile Sicherheitsstrukturen durchdringen. Damit geraten auch Gesellschaften in Gänze ins Visier. Diese Bedrohungen kombinieren militärische und nicht-militärische Mittel wie Cyberangriffe, Desinformation oder die gezielte Aufhetzung der Bevölkerung, um öffentliche Institutionen zu destabilisieren. Die Ambiguität und Anonymität solcher Angriffe erschwert eine klare Reaktion und gefährdet die Handlungsfähigkeit im Krisenfall. Während NATO und UK stärker militärische Reaktionen betonen, legen EU und Deutschland den Schwerpunkt auf gesellschaftliche Resilienz.
