The telecommunication services (in short: FmDi ) is a specialized service of civil protection in Germany. Its task is the establishment and operation of radio and telephone connections as well as the provision and maintenance of the technical communication equipment. In this sense, the telecommunications service supplements the technical operations management or, in Bavaria, the local operations management support group , insofar as telecommunications activities are not carried out by them themselves in the meantime. The telecommunications service units, which are provided by various aid organizations, consist of volunteers. They complete appropriate specialist service training for their work.

In Berlin , the telecommunications services are independent units of the aid organizations or the BOS .

The units of the telecommunications service are provided locally by the following organizations:

The units of the telecommunications service were set up as telecommunications trains in accordance with the federal government and were listed in STAN no. 081 fixed. Traditionally, train troop vehicles (ZTrKW), telephone vehicles (FeKW), radio vehicles (FuKW) and equipment and company vehicles (GBKW) with generator trailers were part of the fleet of a telecommunication train (FmZ). He had an overall strength of 1/5/19/25 . The conductor (1/0/0/ 1 ) and the Platoon Headquarters (0/1/3/ 4 ) occupied the ZTrKW and GBKW with trailers. The two telephone squads (each with the thickness 0/1/6/ 7 ) occupied per one FeKW. The two radio squads (respectively 0/1/2/ 3 ) occupied per one of the two FuKW. This STAN has since expired and the nationwide uniformly defined telecommunications trains have been dissolved. Usually an ELW 2 and / or GW IuK including management components is used for this today. At THW there is a specialist group on leadership / communication .

Today the telecommunications service is usually combined in groups or trains at district or city level. Within the operational units that exist today in most of the federal states , the Technology and Security group takes on fundamental tasks in the field of maintenance and use of telecommunications technology. The same applied to the electrical group and the technical group of the disbanded DRK relief train . Some DRK district associations also used their own units of the information and communication section. In recent years, the term information and communication ( ICT ) has been used more and more for telecommunications. This is to take into account the use of modern means of communication and the importance of state-citizen communication.

To fulfill these tasks, they have the appropriate special equipment, such as guidance equipment , radio devices and wired communication equipment ( field telephone ). Some telecommunications units also have motorcycles for motorcycle detectors .
