history
Lineup
The Heimatschutzkommando 17 was set up on March 13, 1972 to capture Army Structure III as a partially active unit in Defense Area V in Böblingen .
The homeland security command was one of the six partially active homeland security commands of the territorial army . Only part of the Homeland Security Command was present at peace. In the event of a tension defense , the homeland security command was able to grow up significantly thanks to reservists . Some of the subordinate battalions and companies were planned as inactive units that would only have been mobilized in the event of a defense . For this purpose, their defense material was stored in depots during peacetime or had to be withdrawn from civilian stocks as a material mob supplement .
The task of the homeland security command, which formed the core of the homeland security force of the territorial army , was, among other things, the defense of the rear army area , in particular the security of important infrastructure such as marching routes, ports, traffic hubs and telecommunications facilities. Airborne troops , sea-landed , leaked or breached enemy had to be expected in the rear area . At its core, the Homeland Security Command resembled a fighter brigade . Mobility and firepower remained by the lack of armored vehicles , artillery systems and independent companies of combat support and guide troops but well behind the brigades of the Army back so that the Homeland Security Command only temporally and spatially tightly limited combat missions could perform and combined arms battle only was conditionally qualified.
In times of peace, the subordinate training centers trained soldiers from the Homeland Security Force .
resolution
Homeland Security Command 17 was decommissioned on March 31, 1981 in order to take over Army Structure IV . Personnel and material of the decommissioned Homeland Security Command were used to set up the partially active Homeland Security Brigade 55 .

Association badge
The homeland security command carried a union badge with the following blazon :
- "Green rimmed divided diagonally left of black and gold, placed in a golden central shield three border black lion with red tongues."
The association badge established the connection to the stationing area in Baden-Württemberg . The shield division was similar to the flag of Baden-Württemberg . The middle shield was similar to the coat of arms of Baden-Württemberg : the lions went back to the Staufer coat of arms , whose Duchy of Swabia comprised parts of what is now Baden-Württemberg. The green board was typical for all homeland security commands in Army Structure III. Green was the weapon color of the hunter troop , because most homeland security commands were essentially similar to the hunter brigades.
The association badge was continued by the "successor association" Heimatschutzbrigade 55 . The Staufer lion was also found in the association badge of the 10th Panzer Division .

- Colonel Hans-Jürgen Burmester (May 1972-1975)
