The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus presented a new challenge to the world and to defence organisations. In the paper, the authors analyse the composition, task and skills of the so-called Technisches Hilfswerk in Germany. In addition, they describe the applicability of its technical capabilities in the first and second waves of the coronavirus epidemic.
