The Association of Soldiers of the Bundeswehr e. V. ( VSB ) is an association of active soldiers in the Bundeswehr . The VSB is a registered association based in Bonn .
history
In March 2011, the VSB (civil law society) was formed from active members of various personnel representatives of the armed forces from the "United Free List" as an alternative to the interest groups for soldiers of the Bundeswehr. Since February 2012 the "Association of Soldiers in the Bundeswehr e. V. “entered in the register of associations .
Goal setting
The Association of Soldiers in the Federal Armed Forces advocates better and more comprehensive participation for all soldiers. He wants to achieve a better compatibility of family and work / service for all members of the Bundeswehr. To this end, in a first step he calls for the consistent implementation of existing instructions and use of the given options by all superiors. In addition, he advocates a reform of the measures taken to date to make career paths more permeable. Above all, the VSB wants to offer soldiers who have not yet been organized in association politics a new opportunity for organized participation. This applies to the committees of the staff representation as well as to the role of the demanding partner towards the employer. The association marks u. a. the unique selling point of being the only lobby group in the armed forces that works exclusively for the soldiers' status group. The association sees itself as a critical and constructive partner vis-à-vis the employer as well as politicians, who vigorously represents the interests of its members, also with the aim of helping to create the necessary attractiveness of the Bundeswehr as an employer.
