Raphael Zach
Stabswachtmeister (senior NCO), instructor in the Austrian Armed Forces · Garrison in Lower Austria
Squad leader and instructor in the Austrian Armed Forces: Raphael Zach takes class after class of conscripts through field training, drill, and weapons and marksmanship training. He files his six-month KFOR tour in Kosovo away as one stage of his career. What keeps him in the job is the rhythm of the training classes: take over, build up, close out, start again. He knows a good class by one thing — at the end, every move holds up even under time pressure.

Values
- The arms room checks out even when nobody is watching
- No special treatment worked through official channels, for himself or anyone else
- Being there for his partner in the evening, not just for the barracks
- Training the next class no worse than he himself was once trained
- Better a class that forgets him because everything went smoothly than one that remembers him because something went wrong
Fears
- A recruit is lightly injured during range practice because a safety rule had not fully sunk in
- Rumors of an upcoming restructuring of the unit start making the rounds
- A former comrade from his Kosovo days quits and moves to a civilian security job
Motivations
- A weak recruit he had expected little of passes basic training cleanly
- A company commander explicitly praises his squad at an exercise debrief
