The division of the army of the Bundeswehr in the structure of the future army describes the troops of the Army from 2000 by 2003.

Introduction and structure of the list

The list describes the structure of the army towards the end of the "Army of the Future" structure, which describes the period from 2000 to around 2003 . The size of the “Army of the Future” was around 134,000 soldiers. The army of the future marks a turning point in the army structures of the army: the army has been drastically reduced in size and aligned with the tasks of the Bundeswehr in the expanded range of tasks (keyword: Bundeswehr missions abroad ). Particularly noticeable is the outsourcing of large parts of the territorial army into the armed forces base and the medical service of the Bundeswehr , which until now has been an integral part of the army almost entirely. In the former army structure, many of the support tasks that were then outsourced had already been outsourced to the Army Support Command area, so that it was gradually stripped of its function to take over the "Army of the Future" structure and was dissolved in 2003. The list is limited to the actual army. Army uniform wearers in other branches of the armed forces and other military organizational areas are expressly not taken into account . This list is viewed in the middle of 2003. It should be noted that many of the desired structural changes to take over the Army of the Future structure were not achieved until mid-2003 or the order to initiate the transformation for the Army was issued before the final take-up intended to take over the New Army structure. Therefore, in some areas of the army, the "Army of the Future" structure was either not achieved at all or the period between 2000 and 2003 was characterized by an almost constant regrouping and dissolution of units. The list is unlikely to be complete, particularly with regard to the inactive ( supplementary ) units.

Since the structure of the army was subject to constant change and the list strives for a service structure, units that only existed or before, and their subordinate relationships, by definition, cannot be the subject of consideration. The same therefore applies to earlier or later subordination relationships. Where possible, special assignments that deviate from the subordination to troops are added. It should be noted, therefore, that the list cannot contain all of the Army units that have ever been established. As a rule, no units smaller than independent battalions and independent companies are listed. The type of garrison indicated generally refers to the location of the headquarters and headquarters company. Deviating from this, subordinate units that are not listed may be stationed at other locations. The specified location for non-active associations is to be understood inconsistently as the location of mobilization, the cadre, the active portion of partially active associations, the mobilization sergeant or the (device) depot of the stored device.

Units listed in italics were not active at the time of observation, including mainly supplementary units without equipment, or partially active units, including units in the process of being disbanded, regrouped or set up. The color troop part denotes the association on which the supplementary troop part is based, i.e. H. which, for example, temporarily surrenders large equipment from its own inventory to the exercising reservists. The internal association badges are shown in small letters and in front of the name of the unit . On the right edge, larger, the association badges (sleeve badges for service suits) are shown, which apply to all subordinate units, as long as the subordinate units do not have their own association badges.

Army command

The Army Command is subordinate to the Army Command.

After mobilization, further troops and staffs grow out of the troop units of the army troop command (or are already planned as inactive units), so that each division can be assigned an organic artillery, engineer, air defense and logistics regiment as well as an NBC defense battalion. For example, the 1st Panzer Division is assigned the four inactive regimental headquarters and headquarters companies of Artillery Regiment 1, Engineer Regiment 1, Air Defense Regiment 1 and Logistics Regiment 1.
