Performance march of the reservists: Fitness proven!
On February 17, 2025, the KLF performance march of the district group of the Osthessen district of the Association of the Reservists of the Deutsche Bundeswehr e.V. (VDRBW) will take place. This event will be held at the Waldparkplatz am Plätzer in Burghaun and expects around 30 reservists. The march aims to maintain and promote the physical performance (KLF) of the participants, a requirement that is specified in a central instruction of the Bundeswehr.
The participants have the choice between distances of 6, 9 and 12 kilometers, with each march in the field suit with a backpack of at least 15 kilograms of marching baggage. The reserve captain (i.e. R.) Thomas Niedenthal organizes this performance test, which is usually offered twice a year. An important facet of the event is also the invitation to guests who are not reservists.
Diverse focus of the East Hesse district group
The district group Osthessen has around 1,200 members and consists of 27 reservist comradeships and 13 reservist working groups (RAG). Under the chairmanship of Sven Fey, Stabbotoffician d. R. and the first deputy chairman of the Hesse state group of the reservist association, the group focuses on various core activities. This includes security policy work, military training, physical fitness, shooting sports and social commitment.
The cooperation with civilian and emergency services as well as cooperation with NATO forces is particularly emphasized. These versatile activities show the commitment of the reservists to strengthen their own skills and to make a contribution to the community.performance marches in other regions
