The telecommunications Command 2 was one of the telecommunications command of the Army of the Armed Forces . The headquarters of the staff was Ulm . The telecommunications command was part of the corps troops of the II Corps .

assignments

The telecommunications command bundled the units of the telecommunications force at the corps level . The main task was the construction, operation and maintenance of the information technology of the corps command posts . Telecommunication technology enabled the commanding general and his staff to connect to their own corps troops , subordinate divisions , neighboring corps and higher-level command posts of the Central Army Group . The main task of the Telecommunications Battalion 220 was electronic warfare .

Overall, the size of the telecommunications command with about 2200 soldiers in the war organization corresponded to about half a brigade of the field army .

structure

Around 1989 the telecommunications command was roughly divided into:

In peacetime the Front Intelligence Company 200 and the Fernspähkompanie 200 were also subordinate. Both companies were directly subordinate to the II Corps in the event of a defense . In peacetime Telecommunication Command 2 was also subordinate to three telecommunication companies for electronic warfare, which in the event of a defense were subordinate to the 4th Panzer Grenadier Division and the 10th and 12th Panzer Divisions .

history

prehistory

From 1960 on, Corps Fernmeldekommandeur 2 was planned in Ulm, which was based in the Ulm Wilhelmsburg barracks .

Lineup

The telecommunications command 2 was set up on October 1, 1973 to take Army Structure III in the Wilhelmsburg barracks in Ulm. The staff of Corps Telecommunication Commander 2 was used for the setup.

resolution

After the end of the Cold War , Telecommunication Command 2 was decommissioned on March 31, 1994 at about the same time as the reclassification of the II Corps to the II German-American Corps. Parts were reclassified to Command Support Brigade 2 with staff also in Ulm.

Association badge

Internal association badge of the staff / staff company

The telecommunications command did not have its own association badge due to its planning as part of the dependent corps troops . The soldiers therefore wore the association badge of the higher corps .

As a "badge", the internal association badge of the staff and the staff company " pars pro toto " was sometimes used imprecisely for the entire telecommunications command. It was essentially a guide to the branch of service of the light that similar Barettabzeichen the Signal Corps is included, the capital letter F (is probably for " F ernmelder" or " F Unker") in the yellow color of arms of the troops, as well as a model of the atom similar to the Bohr's atomic model for the electrotechnical fundamentals of telecommunications technology.
