10th Annual Gathering attended by the Austrian Secretary of Defense Mag. Klaudia Tanner

As every year, on August 31 and September 1 we opened our workshops and invited to the already 10th Annual Gathering. It turned out to be another record-breaking event mit 1000 guests! On the occasion of the 10th anniversary, SecDef Mag Klaudia Tanner visited us accompanied by the Austrian Chief of Police Gen. Michael Takacs.

As every year, our field kitchen never got cold during these two days - a huge THANK YOU to our culinary team!

As in the previous years, our friends from the "International Patrol" again participated with their vehicle fleet, and also the modeling team continuously toured the premises with their military vehicles in miniature format.

Our partner unit - the 3rd Reconnaissance and Artillery Batallion (AAB3) - was again present with an M109A5Ö self-propelled howitzer and a "Husar" recon vehicle.

With the inauguration of our new - second - workshop we could present our vehicles in a less cramped environment, it has become a true "tank hall"!
