Defense Attaché Staff
Lieutenant Colonel Heiko von Roeder
Assistant Air Attaché, Defense Attaché Staff
I am the Assistant Air Attaché in "Team Luftwaffe" within the Defense Attaché Staff in Washington. I support the Air Attaché (Colonel Pradel) in representing the German Air Force in relations with the United States Department of Defense and the United States Air Force (USAF).
My main responsibilities include keeping track of and reporting the status and future development of the USAF equipment, procurement, doctrine, recruiting/retention, training and education. This is a challenging task because the USAF is one of the most dynamic services within the US forces, with a broad range of continuing air-operations, large scale exercises and high end technology programs.
The workload in the Defense Attaché Staff also includes regional and functional issues. For example, the Air Attaché Staff monitors developments in Central and South America and US Defense policy in this region. The Air Attaché Staff also monitors US national security strategy, Defense strategy and the broad issue of Missile Defense (MD). The Air Attaché Staff works on behalf of the Defense Attaché and closely together with the Political Department of the embassy on these issues. I also prepare, coordinate and sometimes accompany visits to the US by high-ranking German Defense officials and delegations.
Before being transferred to Washington, I served as J 4 of the EuropeanUnion Force Headquarters Key Nucleus Staff within the II. (GE/US) Corps Staff in Ulm, Southern Germany . Prior to that, I attended the 46rd General Staff Course (Air Force) at the Federal Armed Forces Command and General Staff College in Hamburg
