23rd Mountain Infantry Brigade is the best formation Germany has, in my opinion. Their commander until 2020, Jared Sembritzki, won Germany's equivalent to the Medal of Honor in Afghanistan for pulling an H. Jones and personally leading his battalion against a dug-in Taliban force. As a brigade commander, he earned a reputation as a magician because where his colleagues claimed inability to hold exercises above the battalion level due to their meagre funds, Sembritzki somehow managed to take his entire brigade on a massive free-roaming field training exercise like every six months. The results were predictably impressive, and from what I can gather his successor continues to build on his body of work. Sembritzki went on to become a two-star in the German Army command after a stint as USAREUR's chief of staff.

Goes to show it takes a practician in this line of work. I hope he continues to rise through the ranks, because he's the kind of guy needed right now.
 
I served in the Brigade 23 under sembritzki, He did alright, He brought in Sort of a "lets go" / "lets Attack" Attitude into the Brigade, Which was needed badly, but other Things fell under the rug in favor of His priority Projects.
For example, we found ourselves on a Mountain in snow 2 Meters deep while conducting a three week exercise, when we should have been Training for deployment.
Luckily we we're able to Catch Up with Most of the really important stuff.
 
Which deployment was that, Mali?
