The application guide section 3 (short EinsFüBer 3) with the associated stationary Control and Reporting Center "Sunrise" (CRC) and the deployable DCRC "Redhawk" is an association Regiment status of the German air force . The association's management staff and the DCRC are stationed in the barracks complex at Holzdorf Air Base. The stationary CRC Sunrise with the Harald bunker, on the other hand, is located in the Schönewalde district . The association is subordinate to the Air Force Air Operations Center .

assignment

The task is the continuous airspace monitoring in the assigned airspace for the early detection of a threat from the air. Mission control area 3 at the Schönewalde site ( Brandenburg ) fulfills this task together with mission control area 2 in Erndtebrück ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). Using a network of radar devices, all aircraft movements are recorded and forwarded to the Air Force Combat Control and Reporting Center / CRC for identification. If necessary, weapon systems, such as. B. Combat aircraft, tactically and purposefully guided. The operational command area 3 is divided into two operational groups, the operational group stationary and deployable.

Task force stationary

Operations group 3 in Schönewalde operates a modern air force combat command system with the stationary task force. In addition to its national tasks, the association is also making its contribution to integrated NATO air defense in Europe. In order to be able to fulfill this task, the operational command staff 31 and the operational support squadron 32 with two sensor trains and a total of eight separate technical trains are subordinate to the task force.

Seamless airspace surveillance

Sensor train III in Cölpin includes the long-range radar stations in the remote technical trains 351 Putgarten, 352 Cölpin, 353 Berlin Tempelhof and 356 Elmenhorst, and sensor train IV in Regen includes the remote technical trains 354 Döbern, 355 Gleina, 357 Döbraberg and 358 Großer Arber. They are the air defense sensors and have the task of forwarding the flight targets recorded by the radar devices to the CRC Schönewalde by means of digital data transmission systems and of ensuring the operational readiness of the respective radar devices, telecommunications and radio systems in continuous operation. They thus form the basis for seamless monitoring of the assigned airspace.

Task force deployable

In 2002, the mission of Operations Control Area 3 was expanded to include a key capability. The additional deployment of a deployable task force for air surveillance and command of weapon systems within the scope of the special range of tasks of the Bundeswehr, which can now include any point on the globe, was new and forward-looking at the same time. The deployable air force command post, the Deployable Control and Reporting Center (DCRC) with its container modules, enables the task force to conduct and support defensive and offensive air operations or air war operations at various locations around the world.

Networked operation management skills

Due to its modular structure, the DCRC is designed in such a way that the individual capabilities can be called up separately and used according to the order. A central role here is played by the ability to conduct networked operations, which enables multinational forces and resources to be managed across the armed forces worldwide using a data network. In order to ensure the fulfillment of the order, the operational command team 33 and the operational support team 34 are subordinate to the staff of the task force.

history

With the start of construction of the air defense command post of the National People's Army (NVA) in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) on October 3, 1978, the history of air surveillance and fighter control at the site began. Since October 22, 1983, the Radio Technology Battalion 41 and the Aviation Technology Battalion 1 have also been controlling the airspace and flight operations of the GDR in Schönewalde.

Takeover into the army of the unit

When the GDR joined the Federal Republic of Germany on October 3, 1990, Battalion 41 was also taken over into the Bundeswehr. Under national responsibility, this battalion monitored the assigned airspace - initially with the existing Soviet technology. The radio engineering battalion 41 was disbanded on March 31, 1991 and set up as radar command department 34 on April 1, 1991 while maintaining the order.

New age

After the withdrawal of the Russian troops from the "Five New Lands" in 1994 in the implementation of the agreements of the "2 plus 4 Treaty", the Control and Reporting Center Schönewalde began its work on January 1, 1995 as part of the integrated NATO air defense . With the subordination to NATO, responsibility for air defense in the "Five New Lands" was transferred from the Inspector of the Air Force to the NATO Commander in Central Europe. Previously, on September 30, 1994, Radar Guidance Department 34 was renamed Radar Guidance Department 25. Between 1995 and 2000 several technical modernizations and adjustments to the requirements of the operational company followed. In addition to the introduction of modern radar systems and high-quality radio equipment, the former NVA bunker in Schönewalde was gutted, expanded and converted into one of the most modern air force command posts in Europe between 1997 and 2000. In the course of the consistent alignment of the Bundeswehr to missions abroad as a result of the changed global security situation, with the dissolution of radar command department 25, today's deployment command area 3 with the deployment groups stationary and relocatable was reorganized on October 1, 2002. Operations management area 3 can look back on an extensive history of air surveillance and operations management at the Schönewalde / Holzdorf location and continues this with an expanded mission and capability profile.
