After the end of the Cold War , the telecommunications command 3 was on March 31, 1994 about the same time as the decommissioning of the III. Corps decommissioned. Parts were used to set up the Command Support Brigade 900 .

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 essentially showed the lightning bolt as an indication of the type of service, which is similarly contained in the beret badge of the telecommunications force . Yellow is the troop's weapon color . The federal eagle is the German heraldic animal and something like that in the association badge of the III. Corps shown. The Latin motto "Cito Atque Secure". means "fast and safe".
