The leader is an officer with the rank of colonel and at the same time a general in the Army Reconnaissance Force . The Army Reconnaissance Force training area is divided into:

The training base camouflaging and deceiving in Storkow (Mark) is subordinate to the Army Reconnaissance Force training area .

In addition, the field intelligence center of the German armed forces was subordinate to this until its dissolution (2008).

history

As part of the transformation of the Bundeswehr , the Army Reconnaissance Force was created. For this purpose, reconnaissance forces of several branches of service , including the armored reconnaissance force , the televised reconnaissance force and the field intelligence forces, as well as the airborne reconnaissance forces and parts of the artillery reconnaissance force (primarily drone reconnaissance forces) were combined. Accordingly, on October 1, 2007, a new “reconnaissance school” was set up with the Army Reconnaissance Training Center, which takes on the tasks of several other troop schools. These include the artillery school (especially drone reconnaissance training), the armored troop school (tank reconnaissance training, including reconnaissance through combat ), the Special Operations Training Center (tele-spying training) and the Bundeswehr Field Intelligence Center (training of field intelligence forces). In the early years of the Bundeswehr there was already a troop school for the armored reconnaissance troops in Bremen , which was set up on March 22, 1956 , but was incorporated into the Munster armored troop school in 1957 and was thus temporarily the last "large" independent troop school for reconnaissance. Since July 2015 the official name "Reconnaissance Force Training Area" has been in the MUNSTER training center.

Association badge

Internal association badge

The internal association badge shows with the crossed rider lances a traditional symbol of the German cavalry , which was already included in the beret badge of the tank reconnaissance and long-distance scout and is shown in many other association badges of the reconnaissance forces in the army. The coat of arms is golden yellow and thus corresponds to the weapon color of the army reconnaissance, borrowed from the cavalry . The "S" stands for school.
