For ranges of up to 60 kilometers, digital radio relay is used, which allows a transmission rate of 34 Mbit / s in total. For longer distances, the company SatCom has ground stations and capacities on the Federal Defense’s own communication satellites, thus enabling a worldwide connection of participants and networks.

history

The cadre of the corps telecommunications battalion 212, consisting of three officers, five NCOs and five men in the Falckenstein barracks , Koblenz , was set up on June 1, 1957. On August 1, 1957, the cadre moved to the Generaloberst Beck barracks in Sonthofen Allgäu. The battalion staff and the staff and supply company are set up, a training group is relocated to Degerndorf . The first 220 recruits were called up to Degerndorf on October 10, 1957. In the same year, the management staff was relocated from Sonthofen to Dillingen an der Donau in the Luitpold barracks, which was still under renovation.

The Corps Fernmeldebataillon 212 was renamed the Fernmeldebataillon 210 on April 1, 1958. As the first unit in the army, FmBtl 210 introduced the six-month basic telecommunications training on April 1, 1961. After the military service was extended as a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis in December 1961, the telecommunications training company I / II had to be relocated to the Alfred Delp barracks in September 1964 for reasons of space . Telecommunications Battalion 230 was spun off from Telecommunications Battalion 210 on April 28, 1965 with a solemn roll call and became independent. The telecommunications training company 1 / II is subordinate to the FmBtl 230 (Donauwörth). The telecommunications battalion 230 supported with parts at the Olympic Games in Munich . The sponsorship between FmBtl 230 and the American 34th Signal Battalion was closed in February 1975. In 1977, FmBtl 230 was the first corps telecommunications battalion to introduce the "Automated Corps Main Network" ( AUTOKO I) and is considered a pioneer in this sector.

In January 1980 the telecommunications training company I / II was relocated to Dillingen. The first foreign missions in Iran, Kurdish aid , take place. The 2. / Fernmeldebataillon 230 was disbanded on April 1, 1993. The telecommunications training company 1 / II was initially "shut down" on June 30, 1993, before it was dissolved on March 31, 1994. With the move of the FmBtl 210 to Ulm in July 1993, the headcount at the Dillingen location sank considerably. The 4. / FmBtl 230 was renamed the 2. / FmBtl 230 on October 1, 1993. The driver training center in Dillingen was set up in 1994. The operation in Somalia at the supply base in Djibouti and in Beledweyne was supported with a small contingent . The AUTOKO 90 telecommunication device as the successor to AUTOKO II is introduced in the FmBtl230. From now on, digital node exchanges will replace analog radio relay technology and the Rifu-Mux teams.

The driver training center in Dillingen was closed in 2002. The telecommunications battalion 230 was reclassified into the command support battalion 292 in the course of the transformation of the Bundeswehr . Subordination changes from the disbanded II. (GE / US) Corps and the also disbanded Command Support Regiment 2 to Defense Command II in Mainz and Command Support Regiment 29. At the same time, the organizational area changes from the Army to the Armed Forces Base . As a result, soldiers from the army and air force are mixed: 1. / and 2. / FüUstgBtl 292 are manned by air force soldiers, the battalion staff is mixed. The 5. / FüUstgBtl 292 - previously a basic training company - becomes an operational company. The regimental staff of the 29th Command Support Regiment moved from Ulm to the Luitpold barracks in Dillingen in March 2006. The Command Support Battalion 292 took on its new structure on April 1, 2009 after the "mission-oriented moderate structural adjustment": the uniform areas Army and Air Force are mixed down to company level. In the course of the realignment of the Bundeswehr, the question arises whether the Dillingen site will be retained or closed. The “PRO Kaserne” alliance is formed in Dillingen. On October 26, 2011, the receipt of the Dillingen site and the FüUstgBtl 292 was finally announced. The basic training unit 6./Feitungsunterstützungsbataillon 292 was dissolved on May 31, 2013

The battalion took on new structures. A basic training platoon was set up in the 1st Company and the battalion was geared towards the new challenges facing the Bundeswehr. The subordination changed from the command support regiment 29 to the command support command of the Bundeswehr in Bonn. The command support battalion is the main provider of troops for foreign missions in Afghanistan ( ISAF ), Kosovo ( KFOR ) and Mali ( EUTM Mali ), MINUSMA . After decommissioning of the Command Support Regiment 29 and the battalion electronic warfare 922 in Donauwörth the commander FüUstgBtl 292 at the same time location elder and thus responsible for the location areas Gunzburg , DonauRies and Dillingen
