In the current 16th electoral term, the
Defence Committee has set up – as in the 15th electoral term
– the Subcommittee on "Development of Internal Leadership,
Political Education and Social Responsibility for Members of the
Bundeswehr against the Backdrop of Changing Deployment Tasks and
Structures". This Subcommittee was intended to ensure adequate
parliamentary consideration of these issues against the background
of the Bundeswehr’s increasing number of missions abroad.
This subcommittee has now successfully completed its work and
presented its final report. In addition, the Defence Committee has
established two rapporteur groups on "Cooperation with the Business
Community" and "Research and Development and Armaments Cooperation
at European Level".
