Structure of the Army (Bundeswehr, Army 2011)

The division of the army in the structure HEER2011 describes the planned division of the army units after 2011. The plans to realign the Bundeswehr were announced in 2011 by Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière . Locations and details became known on September 20 and October 26, 2011, but the rough breakdown of the army as shown below is subject to change. The new structure was named HEER2011 by the inspector of the army in January 2012. On June 12th, the BMVg finally announced the detailed implementation plan for all branches of the armed forces and organizational areas. For the current structure, see → Structure of the Army (Bundeswehr) .

Structure of the army according to the 2011 stationing concept

Framework

The “New Army” structure is being fundamentally reformed under the heading “ Realignment of the Bundeswehr ” . The army shrinks to around 57,600 soldiers, so that many units are disbanded, deactivated or placed under other areas of the Bundeswehr. In anticipation of the reform, compulsory military service was suspended in 2011 , so that the army has only consisted of volunteers since mid-2011.

Other noticeable changes in the army arise for the military music service and the NBC defense force , both of which are switching to the base of the armed forces , the army aviation troops , which have to hand over their CH-53 transport helicopters to the air force, as well as for the army air defense force, which will be disbanded by 2011 and the task of the ground-based air defense to the air force. Independent units of the telecommunications force are no longer planned, if one disregards some independent associations and units in multinational associations. Apart from the Franco-German brigade, none of the other brigades have an artillery battalion, so that these brigades without their own artillery are only able to conduct combined arms combat to a limited extent with their own forces . The importance of the army's former main weapon, the armored force, continues to decline; only four of the six tank battalions will be active in the future. The number of active tank grenadier battalions, however, is increased by one battalion. The two inactive armored infantry battalions are also preserved . The concept of the airmobile infantry brigade, i.e. H. an integration of fighters and army aviators in a brigade capable of independent combat is not continued in this form at brigade level, but is to some extent implemented at division level in the rapid forces division; there, however, with paratroopers as air-transportable infantry. However, the hunters continued their renaissance in the army, because in the future, in addition to the Franco-German brigade, three other brigades will each receive an active hunter battalion. Overall, the elimination of Jägerregiment 1 is overcompensated with the establishment of three new Jäger battalions. In addition, an inactive hunter battalion is being rescheduled. With the dissolution of the Army Brigade, there are no longer any large units in the Army that exclusively serve combat support . The televsioners , who have not formed their own branch of service since the last army reform, "lose" their last remaining unit with the Fernspählehrkompanie 200 and in the future will only find themselves sporadically in other units or units, for example as part of the airborne reconnaissance or the KSK (there however, as part of the "Special Forces" branch). The artillery will in future form mixed artillery battalions consisting of tank artillery batteries and one rocket artillery battery each.

The "two-pillar structure" of the Army Command and Army Office is abandoned. Instead, the Army Command in Strausberg near Berlin, as the highest command command, will in future be directly responsible for all departments at division level. An Army Development Office in Cologne and the newly planned training command in Leipzig (both at division level) take over tasks from the previous Army Office. The inspector general of the Bundeswehr becomes the superior of the inspector of the army . The army is therefore no longer a self-sufficient area in the organizational structure of the Federal Ministry of Defense .

The army's reserve

The reserve in the Army 2011 includes the following supplementary troops :

• nine supplementary troops at association level:
  • a partially active tank battalion
  • a non-active heavy engineer battalion
  • a non-active engineer battalion
  • two non-active support battalions deployed
  • two inactive armored infantry battalions
  • a non-active hunter battalion
• as well as 18 inactive units , in detail:
  • 3 pioneer companies
  • 3 reconnaissance companies
  • 3 mountain hunter companies
  • 2 paratrooper companies
  • 3 artillery batteries
  • 4 transport companies

The two operational support battalions are the army's contribution to homeland security (possibly comparable to the earlier homeland security battalions ). The troop units mentioned comprise around 6,500 service posts in the Army Reserve. The first nine associations are listed below. Some of these are partially active units, i.e. units that also contain active units that are regular to others in peacetime, i. H. active associations are subordinate to. The 18 inactive units are not included in the list below.

Structure of the list

The list below describes the planning status published so far for the future structure of the army. The list is limited to the 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 will be subject to constant change during the reform phase and the list aims to be broken down by service personnel, associations that only existed before or during the reform phase and their subordinate relationships cannot be considered by definition. 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 specified stationing locations generally refer 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.

Associations listed in italics are planned as inactive associations. This also includes units of supplementary troops without equipment, or partially active units, including units that are being disbanded, reorganized or deployed. 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

Association badge command army

The army is led by the inspector of the army . For the first time in his history he is subordinate to the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr . The highest authority is the Army Command, headed by the Army Inspector and based in Strausberg . In this regard, the command is the successor to the command staff of the army , which was previously the highest department of the army. In contrast to the command staff of the Army, the Army Command will not be a ministerial department in the Federal Ministry of Defense . The new Army Command leads all subordinate Army departments and in this respect also takes on the task of commanding the brigades and divisions of the Army that were previously commanded by the Army Command . A fixed assignment of the units to a NATO command structure is not provided and is therefore not presented further.
