Hi Zerodivider,The model that you've got is the one that was originally developed during the cold war era and is merely a flak jacket to protect against splinters - used only during training in Germany. If you go on a mission aborad, you get the proper Mehler bullet proof vests.
Another model of this vest is issued to KSK and some DSO units:

And they do have a sense of humor:

thanks for the info, man!
They offer the usual protection - German Schutzklasse 1 (NIJ lvl. IIIA) protection from the kevlar, plus SK 4 (NIJ lvl. IV) hard armor plates in the front and back.
It's called "Schutzweste Spezialkräfte" (armor vest, special forces), you can read the procurement specifications (in German) here.
Because... he's a medic in the air force?
woody harrelson and michael j. fox ?
They have no beer, too bad for them xD
This party shure rocks like hell.
Well...Because... he's a medic in the air force?
The thing is, he's combining insignia of different branches!
If he's air force, he shouldn't have a beret (in the German air force only airfield security troops have berets).
If he's army, there shouldn't be small wings on his shoulder straps.
I'm sure there's some reason for this combination and I'd like to know it.
an airsofter?? or maybe a smart conscript?? :P
Its a Kindergeburtstag.

What's the situation in Mazar-I-Shariff now for the Bundeswehr? Is the PRT already running, or still in the build-up phase? Other nations, i.e. Dutches still present?
