The Federal Army’s performance exhibition on the occasion of the national holiday on October 26 will take place at two locations this time. In addition to Heldenplatz in Vienna, this time the city of Salzburg will also “show what we can do with a large contingent,” Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner (ÖVP) said on Wednesday.
The national holiday is a reminder of the neutrality that continues to characterize Austria’s identity, Tanner said. The minister mainly addressed the invitation to job-seeking young people. The Federal Army wants to convince people that it is an “attractive employer”. On Wednesday, Heldenplatz will also host a career platform from the Ministry of Defense, the Austrian Integration Fund and the Vienna Education Directorate.
Presentation of “Lion” and “Skyranger”
It is the 29th exhibition of this kind, said Vienna military commander Kurt Wagner. This time there is also an offer especially for interns. There should be a “federal army you can touch.” New among the weapons and vehicles presented are the ‘Lion’ helicopter and the ‘Skyranger’ anti-aircraft system.
The army organizes a school day on Friday and the main program follows on Saturday. The swearing-in ceremony for approximately 1,100 male and female recruits will begin at 11 a.m. The exhibition in the city center continues on Sunday.
Kazerne Schwarzenberg opens its doors
This time the Schwarzenberg Barracks opens their doors in Salzburg. About 700 new soldiers will be sworn in there. The “highlights” also include the combat demonstrations by the emergency services, according to military commander Peter Schinnerl. There will also be a flag jumping and air force flights.
