At Jäger Battalion 18 in St. Michael, Cadre Candidate Training 2 in the “Jäger” weapon category began at the start of February. In the first few weeks, the program included a physical performance test, the so-called “military-specific test”, equipment training on the 66/79 anti-tank barrel and live firing with an assault rifle and pistol. Training on the super-heavy machine gun has also begun. The participants in the cadre candidate training still have a full program ahead of them.
