The Saarland State Command ( LKdo SL ) has been the highest territorial command authority of the Bundeswehr in this federal state since 2007 . It is subordinate to the Territorial Tasks Command (Berlin) and the primary contact for the Saarland state government within the framework of civil-military cooperation . Until 2013 it was subordinate to the Military District Command II . Traditionally, there is a close connection to Luftlandebrigade 1 "Saarland Brigade ", which is by far the largest unit in the area of ​​responsibility, which is expressed, among other things, in the fact that the headquarters of the state command is in Saarlouis and not in the state capital as in all other federal states. The technical training of the personnel is largely carried out by the Multinational Civil-Military Cooperation Command (MN CIMIC Cmd), which also assigns personnel.
