LDDK has reorganised its combat force to improve its capabilities and offer members new challenges.

The new fast and manoeuvrable light infantry platoon has a dedicated heavy weapons team capable of supporting the jaegers with 81mm mortars, anti-tank missiles, automatic grenade launchers, or heavy machine gun fire, depending on mission requirements. The two jaeger squads have identical composition and armament, giving a tactical advantage, while both have enough men and weaponry for also independent action.

The platoon uses light utility vehicles and trucks for transportation, although each element has skilled personnel for also piloting aircraft, should the need arise. In addition, the platoon has a drone for the purposes of reconnaissance and forward observation, often operated by the XO.

The new platoon will have its baptism by fire on 12 January.

The year 2024 was one of the most active in the detachment’s history, with exceptionally high participation rates in the weekly games. Expectations for the year 2025 are just as high.

If you thrive on extended hours and modest compensation, consider joining. Rest assured, the chances of encountering any life-threatening risks or permanent injuries are minimal.
