BOXER in operational use by German Army

The first BOXER (in the version of GTFz/APC) was handed over from the German BWB (Federal Agency for Defence Technology and Procurement) to the Heeresamt (Federal German Army Agency). Subsequently the vehicle was handed over by the President of the BWB, Harald Stein, to the Chief of the Heeresamt, Major General Wolf-Joachim Clauss in a ceremony at the army training centre in Letzlingen.

‘After a successful, extensive, multinational development phase this state-of-the-art, armoured, wheeled vehicle is now finally handed over to the German Army, here at the excellent training ground Letzlingen’ - said Mr. Harald Stein in his ceremonial speech. 

The hand over of the BOXER GTFz (APC) was executed by purpose on the army training ground in Letzlingen, as a few months ago the Mechanized Infantry Battalion 292 started its training for the Afghanistan mission there.
