Acknowledgement

At this point I would like to thank especially CPT Justin Schortmann (266th Financial management Support Center Kaiserslautern, Germany), LTC Cody L. Zilhaver (US Army Central Command) and Klaudia Kobelrausch that with their contribution and ongoing support the publication of English-language version of the study became possible.

For taking care of the work, I thank my Professor PD Dr. Dieter K. Tscheulin ((Department of Marketing and Health Management, Business Management Seminar II of the University of Freiburg) and my supervisor PD Dr. Florian Drevs, who could inspire the emergence of the study by their commitment, and willingness to discuss and their ongoing and constructive criticism. I would also like to thank the Land Command Hessen (Bundeswehr), and his manager Mr. Brigadier General Eckart Klink, for active support by the field work at Hessentag. Likewise, my thanks go to the reservists’ association Kreisgruppe Kurhessen und Landesgruppe Hessen for the provision of the infrastructure.

Without volunteers, supporters and interview partners no survey can be carried out, thus I would like to say big thank you to everyone involved in the study.

As always, in the "hot final phase" proofreaders are a highly appreciated help. In this present case my associates have not only read, but also made constructive and critical questions, contributing to a further increase in quality of the work. I thank Dr. Michael-A. Leuthner, CPA, CIA, Lieutenant Colonel d.R., Mrs. Ann-Katrin Brede, Mrs. Lydia Olbrich and Mr. Felix Moritz for their assistance.

Additionally, my special thanks go to my employer, especially my group leader Mr. Jörg Dünte and my department head Mr. Wolf-Dieter Tesch, who made - in addition to their permanent support - the occupational constitution of the study possible during time as a working student for Helaba.

Finally, my special thanks go to Markus Thomalla (Master of Business Administration, Recruiter, Hauptmann d.R), Catherine Haverkamp (Diploma in Business Law, athena advice OHG), Jörg Haverkamp, Jörg Zähringer (Office Head of member of German Bundestag Peter Weiß) and all those who were involved, making a publication from the original work. In particular, I thank Attorney Michael Leckebusch, lawyer and lieutenant of the reserve, for his final "legal view" over the complete work.
