Hesari has joined the Detachment. Welcome!

A platoon meeting was held near Seitseminen National Park to celebrate LDD Kyllikki's 15th year of battle.

The four-day festivities took place on and around the Finnish Defence Forces flag day on 4 June. Excellent food was prepared by our team of semi-professional chefs, and over two dozen members of the detachment enjoyed the sauna, the campfire, fun and games, mölkky, sahti, HTC Vive, and rosvopaisti, as well as patrols to the national park, day after day and night after night.



An inspection was held on Saturday. The following members were promoted:

ylil Psykoisi to Kapteeni (kapt),
vänr Raunhofer to Luutnantti (ltn),
alik Kassu to Kersantti (kers),
stm Pionjaer to Korpraali (korpr).

In addition, yliv Broileri, korpr Sakinz, korpr Ukka, and stm Nollakaks have been awarded with Kuntoisuusloma (KL) for exemplary service.

Finally, command of the platoon was transferred from kapt Psykoisi to ltn Raunhofer. Ltn Raunhofer is thus LDDK's new commanding officer.

LDD Kyllikki is deeply grateful to kapt Psykoisi for his many years of leadership and service and is looking forward to his continuing career in the detachment.

Psykoisi, Raunhofer, Sami, Broileri, Charlie Frank, Jarger, Kuokkanen, Arto, Haba, Lufti, Scottz, Naatti, Pionjaer, Ukka, Nollakaks, Vultyr, Mammoth, Wolfskin, Kegetys, Maako, Stellar, Strat, Pete, Shuko, Nouty, and Elli were awarded with Talkootyön Ansiomitali (TA) for participating.



LDD Kyllikki's 15th-anniversary celebrations will continue.

A long-range patrol, led by ylil Psykoisi, managed to fulfil its objectives during an incursion to Normandy, France.



Several concrete bunkers were found to be empty of guns, and all in all the beachline was found to be poorly protected. Only outdated weapons were discovered in the few depots, and they seemed to originate from several different nations.

The local population seemed ignorant when addressed in English and were puzzled by attempts to communicate with phrases like "Parlez vous Français" or "Voulez-vous?". The local cuisine was found to be wanting.

The landscape offered several potential spots for aerial incursion by paradrops, but were closely guarded by huge guard animals called "La vache".

Finally, the patrol managed to sneak out of the country thanks to their pre-planned exit strategy. Plans for the next long range patrol are already on the way.

Today, Local Defence Detachment Kyllikki celebrates its 15th birthday with a variety of commendations as well as an NCO promotion. Formed on 30 March 2001, LDDK is one of the oldest active Arma units in the world and the oldest of its size in Finland.
