history

prehistory

After the end of the East-West conflict , the structure of the command support troops was fundamentally changed to take over Army Structure V and V (N). A large part of the telecommunications force in the West German field and territorial army was previously divided into telecommunications commands at the highest level . The West German corps led the telecommunication commands as corps troops . Similarly, the territorial commands led a directly subordinate telecommunications command. Smaller groups of troops for direct command support such as the topography troops , the front intelligence troops and the troops for operational information or the military music service were previously also directly subordinate to the corps and territorial commands as part of the corps troops .

In the new structure, the bulk of the troops listed above for command support of the field and territorial armies - insofar as these have not been decommissioned - have been combined in newly established command support brigades. In essence, however, these were telecommunications associations. The medical brigades and logistics brigades in the corps were set up according to a similar principle . These merged large formations of a new type combined units and tasks of the previous field and territorial army. Only in the event of a defense would the associations probably have been separated again. It was planned to assign a command support brigade to each of the three planned corps / territorial commands. The numbering of the command support brigades to be newly established was carried out accordingly:

Ultimately, the merged corps / territorial commands were not set up in West Germany . The establishment of the command support brigades in the corps and in the corps / territorial command east was retained, however. Due to the reclassification of the 1st Corps into the 1st German-Dutch Corps , its command support brigade was ultimately planned under the name Command Support Brigade German-Dutch Corps . In addition, the Command Support Brigade 900 was planned on the level of the highest army command following a similar principle .

Lineup

The Command Support Brigade 2 was set up on April 1, 1994 in the Schlieffen barracks in Stahnsdorf at the Corps / Territorial Command East .

Relocation to Berlin

From 1996 the headquarters of the Julius-Leber-Kaserne in Berlin .

resolution

The 4th Command Support Brigade was disbanded on June 19, 2002 at about the same time as the IV Corps . As a "successor" at the same time, Command Support Regiment 38 in Defense Area III was reorganized at the Julius-Leber-Kaserne site.

Association badge

Unlike most of the other brigades in the Army, the Command Support Brigade did not have its own badge . The soldiers therefore wore the association badge of the superordinate large association . As a "badge", the internal association badge of the staff and the staff company " pars pro toto " was sometimes used imprecisely for the entire command support brigade.

Remarks

  1. ↑ A command support brigade 3 was possibly also initially planned, but it was decided early on that the III. Corps . This meant that there were no plans for a possible command support brigade 3 .
