More armored vehicles for German troops - UPI.com
MUNICH, Germany, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Additional Boxer armored vehicles are to be produced for the German Army by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rheinmetall under a $516.9 million contract.

The contract for 131 vehicles was issued to Artec GmbH, a joint venture of the two companies, by the German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support.

Ninety-five of the wheeled vehicles will be manufactured by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and 36 by Rheinmetall. Deliveries will begin in 2017.

The Boxer is an 8x8 wheeled vehicle used by German troops in Afghanistan. It has an operational range of 684 miles and a maximum speed of 64 miles per hour. In addition to its three-man crew, it can carry eight soldiers.The German Army had previously ordered 272 Boxers.

Report: US Asks Germany for More Military Help to Fight IS
BERLIN —
The United States has asked Germany for more military help in the fight against Islamic State, a German magazine reported on Saturday, a week after parliament approved a plan to join the campaign in Syria.

Der Spiegel said U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter had sent a letter asking for a bigger military contribution from Berlin.

Its mission currently includes six Tornado reconnaissance jets, a frigate to protect the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, refueling aircraft and up to 1,200 troops.

The deployment is a direct response to a French appeal for solidarity after militant attacks in Paris killed 130 people. Germany does not plan to carry out airstrikes in Syria.

A German Defense Ministry spokesman confirmed a letter had been received from the United States and its content was under consideration, giving no further details.

Germany has over the last two years shown a growing readiness to commit troops to foreign missions.

Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said last week Germany might need bigger armed forces to cope with the more assertive role.

She said an analysis into staffing and the organization of combat forces would report in a couple of months on whether personnel levels were appropriate.

More than 3,000 personnel are currently deployed overseas and the Syria mission will raise that by up to 1,200. Von der Leyen also wants to send 650 troops to Mali to help the French campaign against Islamist militants there.

Germany last year started arming Iraqi Kurds fighting the Islamic State group.

Why

Why in rainbow six siege they used german police why not these guy

Because GSG-9 is one of the best counter-terrorism forces and GSG-9 is law enforcement while the KSK is used for military operations

Germany has worked with several other EU nations for equipment and when have even worked with other super nations like Russia and USA. USA actually uses lots of German weapons in their armed forces
