Deployment of 3 variants of BOXER into theatre
In December 2012, the first 6 German Ambulance BOXER (sgSanKfz) have been deployed to AFG. They are supporting the troops with new capabilities and possibilities.
As per January 2013, now 31 BOXER are being in operation in Northern Afghanistan – 17 Armoured Personnel Carriers (GTFz), 8 Command Posts (FüFz) and 6 Ambulances (sgSanKfz).
It is fair to mention the first positive feed back from the German user of the vehicle in Afghanistan – BOXER is now a battle proven vehicle.
