Combat Team Conference

The Combat Team Conference (CTC) is a competition of military and law enforcement special operations units. Founded in 1983, it is hosted every four years by the GSG 9 of the German Federal Police in Sankt Augustin in Germany.

History

The CTC was initiated in 1983 by the former GSG 9 commanders Ulrich Wegener and Uwe Dee in order to improve cooperation among the different units and to encourage the exchange of ideas and experience.

The first CTC in 1983 included 20 different participants which included special response units from the United States, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

Modern day events

The most recent CTC was held in 2015. Participants included 43 participating teams which included special response units from Colombia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Thailand.[1] The competition lasted six days and included hostage rescues, close quarter combat, marksmanship. Due to the international participants, English was introduced as the competition's official language.

gollark: It's probably irrelevant though, as I doubt *that* many people actually care about having the arbitrary ownership token™ in the first place and have the technical knowledge to check in much detail whether you actually do have it.
gollark: Smart contracts *have* been known to have complex bugs which are also completely impossible to patch after they've been released onto an unsuspecting public.
gollark: If I actually cared about that for some bizarre reason, it would presumably be possible to just copy the NFT code and patch that out.
gollark: Surely if you want to duplicate it you could just... use the *same* seed, again...?
gollark: So I decided to look at the website on a device which could actually render the sculpture thing, and looking at the FAQ, this seems... odd...:> Each unique seed is stored immutably on the blockchain, and while seeds are case-sensitive, your seed (and therefore, your sculpture) cannot be duplicated by anyone.... *what* does case sensitivity have to do with anything? How can it "not be duplicated"?
