\u201cThe Feldjaeger is a first-class organization,\u201d said Brig. Gen. Vance Kuhner, deputy commanding general of the 200th Military Police Command. \u201cThey add muscle and competence that our alliance requires to thwart aggression from anyone who wants to destroy freedom, democracy, law and order.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday was so complete,\u201d added Brig. Gen. Kuhner, who, as a civilian, serves as the northeast Special Agent in Charge for United States Customs and Border Protection. \u201cAppropriately, we started our day by solemnly remembering our German military police who gave their lives in service. We need to remember them as we as allies serve and protect our citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pageantry also amazed Brig. Gen. Kuhner. \u201cThe parade was splendid, and that Bundeswehr band [the Heeresmusikkorps Hannover] is the absolute best military band I\u2019ve ever heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Feldjaeger\u2019s demonstration of law enforcement and tactical support proved they can bring lethal force to any nefarious actors who dare attempt to interrupt route security.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was truly a privilege to watch the Feldjaeger\u2019s demonstration,\u201d said 1st Lt. Sean Kalletta, a 200th Military Police Command soldier who, as a civilian, serves as a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team police officer in Suffolk County, New York. In the demonstration, he noticed technique similarities to policing in the states. \u201cIt reminded me of the importance of why we in the Military Police Corps need to train with our allies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to have been given the opportunity to participate in the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the German Bundeswehr Military Police Command,\u201d said Sgt. Maj. Anthony Kresta, a commander with the Carrollton (Texas) Police Department serving on extended active duty, who serves as the operations sergeant major for the 200th Military Police Command. \u201cThe professionalism demonstrated was unmatched by anything I have seen in my forty-year career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orchestrating the entire event was Brig. Gen. Sandro Wiesner, commander of the Bundeswehr Military Police Command.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is no coincidence that so many companions from the political sector, military, police, and civilian partners from Germany and abroad, active duty and reserve personnel, the German Military Police Association, and retired personnel and friends of the German MP are going to celebrate this special day in Hannover with the rest of us,\u201d said Brig. Gen. Wiesner, before the ceremony.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, Brig. Gen. Wiesner quoted 19th-Century Prussian field marshal Helmuth von Moltke, stating, \u201cWhen one issued an order to a Feldjaeger, one was safe.\u201d Brig. Gen. Wiesner further metaphorized, \u201cIn our house the lights are on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days all year long. We are and will always be highly responsive.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 200th Military Police Command looks forward to more training opportunities with the military police commands who serve countries dedicated to protecting freedom from tyranny,\u201d added Brig. Gen. Vance Kuhner. \u201cJust as a football team doesn\u2019t meet in the locker room right before the big match, our military forces ought not meet moments before crisis. We should train together, and we will continuously train together so that together we can defeat our adversaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank Brig. Gen. Sandro Wiesner for his leadership,\u201d added Brig. Gen. Kuhner. \u201cWe met great Military Policemen this week from Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Lithuania, Austria and the Netherlands who are dedicated to preserving law and order. We stand shoulder to shoulder with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
