At some point (after sun-down) on Friday.....the 15-man Bundeswehr (German Army) unit arrived in Greenland.
They spent Saturday accomplishing the mission.
Today (Sunday)....AM, the unit boarded a plane...leaving for Iceland.
What they did for Saturday? If you watch N-TV news....the term 'recon' came up several times.
Trump's threat causing the early 'end'? Well....no....as the Berlin announcement occurred....the recon was successful, and a full report would be issued shortly.
If I were viewing this from a Air Force prospective.....they have enough text from Saturday to write up a Achievement-Medal citation....giving each man/woman....a medal. If they had a good officer planning this....he probably wrote up a new operation 'name'('Orange-Thunder', 'Polar Bang', or 'Cold Ice').
Also from a Air Force prospective....it's possible that the guys got into trouble (boozing-up from Friday night). I'd give this a remote possibility...say one in fifty odds.
It's also possible upon arriving there....the boys discovered that their Arctic gear wasn't top-notch....or that they hadn't budgeted enough funds to cover bullets or hotel cost.
Material for German comedians? Yeah, there's fresh new material....for a good 8-minute dialog.
