In this capacity, it is responsible for the generation, training and deployment of 2,000 of the 7,000 German troops on overseas deployments, mainly in Afghanistan and Kosovo. It will support 5,000 troops deployed abroad in 2011-2012. Forward elements have already been deployed and the rest will follow in coming weeks after they have completed their deployment training.
