The command support brigade of the German-Dutch Corps was one of the command support brigades of the army of the German Armed Forces and the Dutch army, with headquarters in Eibergen, the Netherlands .

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. 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 was presumably set up around the same time as the other command support brigades in April 1994 in Münster at the I. Corps . Some of the troops, parts of the personnel and material of the previous corps troops of the I. Corps, in particular of the telecommunications command 1 with headquarters also in Munster, which was dissolved at the same time, were used for the preparation . At about the same time, the telecommunications commandos 600 and 800 , which were previously responsible for the operation of the command technology in the area of ​​the top command of the territorial army in northern Germany , were dropped.

Due to the reclassification of the German 1st Corps and the Dutch 1st Corps to the 1st German-Dutch Corps , the name Command Support Brigade 1 was ultimately only used briefly or even only as a " working title ". With the plans to reclassify the corps into a binational corps from 1993 or at the latest with its commissioning in August 1995, the designation was adapted accordingly in the command support brigade of the German-Dutch Corps and Dutch soldiers were integrated. The Dutch Eibergen was agreed as the seat of the staff from 1997 at the latest .

resolution

Subsequently, the command support brigade was further reclassified with the participation of the Dutch and German armed forces by December 2006 at the latest to the communications battalion I. German-Dutch Corps ( Communication and Information Systems (CIS) Battalion ) with locations in the Dutch towns of Eibergen and Garderen and parts in Münster . Possibly the decommissioning already took place around 2002 analogous to the other command support brigades of the army.

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 .
