The infantry also included the armored infantry troops .

From 1965, the attached military training area could be fully used. Up until then, this had served refugees from the Second World War as agricultural land and Bonnland as a settlement. From the end of the 1970s, the lone fighter training was also carried out by the air landing and air transport school at Sauwaldhof , temporarily only there and since 2013 exclusively in Hammelburg. In 1999 the UN training center was set up in Hammelburg . The formerly subordinate Jägerlehrbataillon 353 was dissolved on December 31, 2006.

Organization of the infantry school until December 2014:

As part of the realignment of the German Armed Forces , the UN Training Center of the German Armed Forces became independent and the infantry school was reclassified into the Infantry Training Center.
