Deployment of first BOXERs into theatre

Five APC BOXER are on their way to Afghanistan to support the German troops under the ISAF mission with its excellent level of protection, mobility and survivability. 
The new APC BOXER, specifically equipped for this mission, will be deployed by one of the German training and protection battalions in the area of Mazar-e Sharif. ‘This step represents a significant increase of protection and mobility for the German soldiers in theatre’ - said Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Werner Freers - ‘it is a good day for our soldiers deployed in peace-missions around the world.’
