Visibly support the Bundeswehr in the state
The CDU wants stronger support for the Bundeswehr (German armed forces) in Brandenburg. Youth officers should generally have access to schools, and universities should permanently forgo civil clauses banning military research.
The CDU wants to support the army in the state. Army officers should be able to visit schools. Universities should be allowed to do military research. Soldiers in uniform should ride buses and trains for free.
A broad cooperation agreement is to be signed with the state military command. Civil clauses, meaning bans on military research, are to be permanently ruled out. Public swearing-in ceremonies, Veterans Day and Bundeswehr Day events and the "yellow ribbon" are to show solidarity. Free train travel in uniform is to be extended to regional transit networks.
