Great thread and amazing pictures!
I am curious to know what is the main spoken/written language of the army? Lëtzebuergesch, German, French?

It's brand new, I haven't seen anyone wearing it in country, only theKFOR contingent is wearing it.

They have passed an order to get NFM from Norway make the same BALCS as the Belgian army uses in the new camo pattern.

They also replaced the FN GP aka Browning Hi Power with Glocks last year.

Hi Mate,

Thanks for the Info, I must admit i thought Luxembourg would wait to see what Belgium did concerning a new Camo Pattern as the 2 armies work so closely together and with Luxembourg Soldiers using and wearing Belgian Kit on some deployments.

Still its good to see the Luxembourg Army keeping its own identity, and I do like the new Camo Any idea when it will be on general Issue ?

I am interested in learning of the "social" of the military and police forces. So ask these questions. What is the salary of a Luxembourg-based soldier? Defendant is a career for young people?, I know that to join the police you must have been in the Army, are earning more salary in the Police in the Army? . Thank you very much in advance if you want to know something about thethe Spanish Guardia Civil, here I am .-
