A final farewell from the final Commander of British Forces Germany. #AufWiedersehen

[Commander BA(G) @ComdBAG]

So, it is time to say Aufwiedersehen. It has been an honour to command this fantastic organisation doing its very best to support our people here in 🇩🇪. Thank you. This account will transfer to the new Comd British Army Germany, Col Tim Hill. Please continue & follow him.

[Commander BA(G) @ComdBAG]

Significant milestone today: HQ Germany Enabling Office changed command from @Comd_Cadets to @ComdJFC_UK. Thanks to all involved - >3 years of hard work! Importantly this sets the conditions for the future presence in 🇩🇪 with coherent support to all. @neilsexton659 @Home_Command

[Commander BA(G) @ComdBAG]

Great visit from @Comd_Cadets today - very sadly his last. From all of us in the #bfgcommunity , a huge thank you for all of your immense support. Great to visit his old office from when he was CO here in Bielefeld & present back the plaque from opening the welfare office in 2008

25 years ago 1 Platoon Burma Company commissioned from @RMASandhurst on CCC 933. Great to see so many old friends last night and hear of the huge successes of so many inside and outside of the Army - the experience defined us all. @neilsexton659 @UrchTyrone
