Structure of the Army (Bundeswehr, New Army)
The division of the army of the Bundeswehr in the structure of a new army describes the troops of the Army in the period from 2003 to 2010. For the current breakdown see → division of the army (Bundeswehr) .
Introduction and structure of the list
The list describes the structure of the Army towards the end of the “New Army” structure, which describes the period from 2003 to around 2010. In contrast to earlier army structures, the structure was hardly static during this period. Under the heading " Transformation ", the structure of the army is subject to constant change in small steps. The "New Army" phase was initiated with the revision of the Defense Policy Guidelines in mid-2003. This list is viewed at the end of 2010. This structure is also sometimes referred to as “Army 2010”. Around 2010 the army comprised between 90,000 and 100,000 active soldiers. Considerations in the Federal Ministry of Defense under Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (keywords: downsizing the Bundeswehr, suspension of compulsory military service ) suggest that the army will face major upheavals again after 2010, so that 2010 will roughly mark the end of the "New Army" phase. marked.
The list is also 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 . 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, as well as 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.
guide
The army is led by the inspector of the army . The highest department is the command staff of the army . He mainly heads the Army Command and Army Office departments . A fixed assignment of the units to a NATO command structure is not provided and is therefore not presented further.
