assignment

Together with the Air Force Pioneers (6./ObjSRgtLw) and the Air Force's operational logistics forces (5./ObjSRgtLw), the II./ObjSRgtLw is responsible for the construction and operation of an Air Force deployment operating base (DOB).

In this context, the military fire protection forces of the Air Force ensure both the safeguarding of flight operations in accordance with the international requirements of civil aviation ( EASA / ICAO ) and NATO standards , but also defensive fire protection and other security in adjacent field camps or facilities at the airfield .

In addition to performing the specialist tasks in the areas of airport fire protection, technical assistance and operations involving dangerous substances and goods, the military fire protection forces are also able to take measures to prevent damage outside of field camps under threats on deployments abroad . To this end, the 7./ObjSRgtLw works closely with the specialized infantry forces of the I./ObjSRgtLw.

The 7./ObjSRgtLw has a total of 185 military posts and is divided into the following sub-units:

  • Fire protection officer (A13-A14) as head of the squadron,
  • Back office,
  • Training and deployment sub-unit, led by a fire protection officer (A12) ,
  • four fire protection trains in strength 42 each with

history

The military fire protection forces of the Air Force were originally set up on October 1, 1998 as a new sub-unit of the 4th Squadron (NBC defense) of the Air Force's object protection battalion. At that time, the technical training to become a fire fighter was still taking place at the 8th inspection of the Air Force Technical School 3 at the Faßberg location (8th / TSLw 3) .

With the establishment of the object protection regiment of the Air Force "Friesland" (ObjSRgtLw "F") on July 1, 2006, the military fire protection forces were enlarged to a separate squadron, the 9th / ObjSRgtLw, and belonged to the III. Battalion of the new regiment.

Due to the dissolution of the active III./ObjSRgtLw in April 2014, the fire protection squadron was reclassified to the "new" 7./ObjSRgtLw (previously the designation 7th / an infantry squadron at the Kerpen location) and placed under the II./ObjSRgtLw.

The military fire protection forces are a squadron that has been present almost continuously in the Bundeswehr's missions abroad since it was set up in 1998 .

Coat of arms and motto

The coat of arms of the 7./ObjSRgtLw symbolizes the fire protection mission of the squadron and the affiliation to the II./ObjSRgtLw.
 Blazon : “Shield divided into three equal areas with a rounded upper edge: on the right on a blue background a red-armored, golden (yellow) lion rising to the right; a silver anchor cross at the top right and left in the upper corner; On the left, on a golden (yellow) background, in the center, a stylized blue and white globe, covered with a silver swing arm; At the bottom center on a white background a black fire ax crossed with an assault rifle in front of two stylized blazing flames. "
Justification of the coat of arms: The upper left part of the coat of arms illustrates the integration of the II./ObjSRgtLw into the district of Friesland, which is valued on both sides. It has its special meaning and highlights the important regional integration of the association through the symbols and the color blue in the background.

The “Frisian” lion and the anchor cross from the coat of arms thus clearly indicate a close, lively partnership between the Bundeswehr and the region. In addition, the affiliation to the superordinate association, the object protection regiment “Friesland”, is emphasized and a recognition value is achieved.

The right part of the coat of arms on a yellow background essentially reflects the worldwide commitment of the association. The globe with the silver air force wing as a symbol for a specialized support association of the air force is occupied. The special affiliation with the Air Force is emphasized.

The lower central part shows the specialization as military fire protection personnel and separates it from the other squadrons. The ax as a typical fire brigade symbol and the stylized blazing flames illustrate the special fire protection mission. The assault rifle underlines the second training of the staff as infantry soldiers and the affiliation to the active network object protection.

In a six-month basic fire fighting course, in addition to the natural sciences, the first basic activities are taught that the prospective fire protection sergeant needs to work as a troop man or leader of a military fire protection unit.

This basic training is followed by an internship of several weeks at various Bundeswehr fire brigades (airfield, naval base , military training area or underground facility) and a professional fire brigade , which is intended to give the fire protection sergeants an insight into the various activities in the fire service or the knowledge from the basic course in practical application should consolidate.

This internship is followed by the final firefighting course in accordance with the Ordinance on Careers, Training and Examinations for Intermediate Fire Service in the Federal Armed Forces (LAP-mftDBwV), which ends with the completion of the career examination for intermediate fire service and qualification as a group leader .

As part of the service in the 7./ObjSRgtLw, the necessary preparatory training is carried out. In addition, there is still the possibility of z. B. to qualify further as respiratory protection equipment attendant.
