The additional personnel will primarily be provided by the military police. The Ministry of Defense announced that the operation should last until the end of November.
As part of the security police assistance mission, the soldiers fulfill the tasks of the executive branch and have the same powers. The objects of protection are selected by the police and assigned to the Vienna military command. This takes over military leadership. Guarding takes place around the clock.
Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner (ÖVP) emphasized in a broadcast that due to the current situation, the security of particularly vulnerable objects would be increased by additional soldiers. The presence of the soldiers not only ensures greater security and protection for the Jewish community, which is an indispensable part of Austria, but is also intended to increase the feeling of security among the population.
In 2016 and 2017, the Federal Army, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior, guarded objects worthy of protection. In 2020, assistant soldiers began protecting property as part of the fight once morest the pandemic. The last security police assistance operation in which the military police were increasingly deployed was in 2020 and 2021 due to the terrorist attack on November 2, 2020 in Vienna.
