List of units of the telecommunications force of the army of the Bundeswehr

Beret badge of the telecommunications troops of the German army

The list of units of the telecommunications troops of the army of the Bundeswehr contains all dissolved, active and inactive (equipment units, cadreed battalions) associations and large formations of the telecommunications troops of the army of the Bundeswehr as well as a brief overview of their time of deployment, stationing locations, subordination and their dissolution or renaming . The list also includes associations that do not consist entirely but to a significant extent of soldiers of the telecommunications force, as well as the related units of the EloKa troop and the troop for troops for operational communication (or its predecessors).

Introduction to the numbering conventions

From Army Structure II until around 1990, the numbering of the telecommunications units was based on a stringent numbering convention. During this time, the name could usually be taken directly from the subordination of the battalion or regiment. In the event of a change of subordination, reclassification, etc., the number has usually been consistently adapted, apart from exceptional cases. Conversely, during this period, associations with the same number cannot always be seen in the same line of tradition. After 1990 and the incorporation of parts of the disbanded National People's Army and the considerable reclassifications in the years after the end of the Cold War , this adjustment was often no longer made; the associations often kept their name by tradition. Your assumption can usually no longer be derived from your number. However, certain conclusions can be drawn about their origin and tradition. In the following, the system is presented according to the size of the associations. However, the following considerations on the system of the designation remain to be understood only as a basic concept, even for the period before 1990. In the case of troop attempts, in the formation and disbandment phase, etc., deviations from the rule are repeatedly encountered.

Commands

Telecommunication commands

The telecommunication commandos were commands in brigade strength at the level of the Bundeswehr command , the corps or the territorial commands . Each of the German corps ( I. , II. , III. Corps ) was assigned a telecommunications command as part of the corps troops in Army Structure III . In the end, their designation resembled the number of the higher corps ( Telecommunication Command 1 for the 1st Corps, Telecommunication Command 2 for the 2nd Corps, etc.). In the territorial army, the corps-like territorial commands were each given a telecommunications command with the typical numbers 800 ( Territorial Command North ), 850 ( Territorial Command South ) and 600 ( Territorial Command Schleswig-Holstein ).

The telecommunication command 900 was planned for the highest command of the Bundeswehr and received the 900 number typical for the Army Office and the Federal Ministry of Defense .

Telecommunications command

The Army Telecommunications Command was only planned as a non-active device unit , which should only grow up from a department of the Army Office in the event of a defense and would then have been the highest command post of the Army's telecommunications force.

Command Support Brigades

Command support brigades were essentially telecommunications units that were supposed to operate the communications technology for the three German corps (I., II. And IV. Corps) and the Army Command (FüUstgBrig 900). The new command support brigades combined tasks that were previously carried out by the telecommunications command in the operationally and organizationally separate sub-areas of the territorial army and field army . In addition to the telecommunications, the command support brigades also led other units in the area of command support : units of the troops for operational information , the topography troops , the front intelligence troops and music corps , which were previously part of the corps troops at corps level or were previously directly subordinate to the territorial commands .
