They trained at Prora on Rügen. Their skills include: obtaining key information in crisis and conflict areas, rescuing hostages, repossessing ships, arresting targets abroad, offensively countering terrorist threats, and covert operations in the entire range of tasks of the Bundeswehr. They are supported by special operations boat teams and maritime mobile medical squads.
