Mission Council

The Einsatzrat was a high ministerial body of the Bundeswehr . Under the chairmanship of the Bundeswehr Inspector General , decisions of a fundamental and essential nature were prepared in it for the planning, preparation and management of operations by the Bundeswehr in peacetime. In addition to the Military Leadership Council and the Armaments Council , it was one of three bodies on which the Inspector General of the Federal Armed Forces relied in order to carry out his tasks, whereby he made final decisions on his own responsibility.

The Einsatzrat was created in 2005 as part of the transformation of the Bundeswehr by the then Defense Minister Peter Struck through the Berlin decree . With effect from April 1, 2012, the Mission Council was repealed by the Dresden decree of Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière .
