The THW Regional Association Saxony, Thuringia has announced a series of training exercises from March 28-30, 2025, and is inviting interested parties to reach out for more information and potential site visits by March 26, 2025.
These exercises, which will take place across various locations, will provide a unique opportunity to observe the THW's emergency response capabilities. The deployment areas offer command posts, sleeping facilities, sanitary facilities, and workshops for up to 500 people, designed to facilitate efficient and effective emergency response.

She encourages visitors to contact the THW Regional Association Saxony, Thuringia for details about the training exercises, including site visits.
