The core task of FüAkBw is to provide basic, advanced and further training for experienced officers from Germany and abroad. At the end of the training programme, officers are comprehensively trained and educated and are familiar with scientific methods, serving the security of the state together with the armed forces, multinationally and interdepartmentally. There are always more than 600 course participants at FüAkBw, including around 100 foreign officers from around 50 nations. Each year, FüAkBw trains over 2,000 course participants in the various courses and seminars.

We offer an attractive meeting place for strategic dialogue between all social groups at regional, national and international level. FüAkBw is opening up more and more to civilian players in and outside the Bundeswehr in order to deepen the exchange of ideas at a strategic level. The modules offered by FüAkBw ( www.fueakbw.de ) are also attractive for civilian managers. As a building block of a "strategic community", we want to help all experts and players in the field of security to network even better. The FüAkBw's structure, in conjunction with a broadly qualified teaching staff, combines both the function of "teaching" and increasingly the role of a "certifying body" (e.g. "project management").

As part of the German Institute for Defence and Strategic Studies - GIDS ( https://gids-hamburg.de ), a cooperation project between FüAkBw and Helmut Schmidt University / University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg, which was founded in 2018, FüAkBw will also be used as a "think tank" for a wide range of military, military, security, societal and armaments policy issues.
