Overview
- Aufklärungsbataillon 7 will move in nine groups of roughly 20 vehicles over about 350 kilometers, primarily on autobahns and federal roads.
- Exact departure times, routes and stops are withheld for security, though traffic increases are expected in North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
- Convoy elements are marked with blue flags, with the last vehicle carrying a green flag, and the formation is treated in traffic law as a single vehicle.
- Motorists are urged to keep large distances, avoid cutting into columns and only overtake in one pass, with delays likely due to slow-moving lines up to about one kilometer long.
- The movement supports training at the Army Combat Training Center and involves reconnaissance platforms such as Fuchs armored carriers and Fennek scout vehicles.
