Introduction to the numbering conventions

From Army Structure II to Army Structure IV (around 1990), the numbering of the army's air defense units was based on a stringent numbering convention. During this time, the name could usually be taken directly from the subordination of the battalion or regiment. In the event of a change of subordination, reclassification, etc., the number has usually been consistently adapted, apart from exceptional cases. Conversely, during this period, associations with the same number cannot always be seen in the same line of tradition. After 1990 and the incorporation of parts of the disbanded National People's Army and the considerable reclassifications in the years after the end of the Cold War , this adjustment was often no longer made; the associations often kept their name by tradition. Your assumption can usually no longer be derived from your number. However, certain conclusions can be drawn about their origin and tradition. In the following, the system is presented according to the size of the associations. The following considerations on the system of the designation are to be understood only as a principle concept, even for the period before 1990. In the case of troop attempts, in the formation and disbandment phase, etc., deviations from the rule are repeatedly encountered.

Brigades

The Air Defense Brigade 100 was in the Army of the Future (2002-2007) one of six combat support and logistics brigades of the Army Command and led all of the army's anti-aircraft forces. This brigade was the only brigade of the Army Air Defense Force in the history of the Army. Like all of these corresponding brigades, the association had the number 100.

Commands

Anti-aircraft commands were set up with the corps . The air defense commander commanded subordinate troops in brigade strength. The commands received the numbers 1 to 3 according to the subordination to one of the Corps I, II or III.

Regiments

Regiments of divisions

In the final phase of the Cold War ( Army Structure IV 1980–1990 ), anti-aircraft regiments were directly subordinated to the divisions of the Army as division troops. The digits 1–12 were assigned to correspond to the number of the higher-level division. In this way of counting the 1st Mountain Division counted as the 8th Army Division. A 9th Air Defense Regiment (9th Division = 1st Airborne Division ) was not set up.

Subordination to the subordinate associations was planned for the deployment. The anti-aircraft regiments of the division were divided into the subordinate combat troop brigades and this battery way on the combat troop battalions. Each combat troop company located in the front defense area (VRV) was therefore usually assigned two Gepard anti-aircraft cannon tanks , which were dependent on cooperation. The anti-aircraft regiments with the Gepard anti-aircraft gun tank were structured as follows in Army Structure IV:

• 1. / stick battery
• 2. / Anti-tank gun battery
• 3. / Anti-tank gun battery
• 4. / Anti-tank gun battery
• 5. / Anti-tank gun battery
• 6. / Anti-tank gun battery
• 7. / Anti-tank gun battery
• 8. / Supply battery
• Air defense combat unit X1 subordinated to 3 / - 5 / - 7 / - (X = regiment number)
• Air defense combat unit X2 subordinated to 2 / - 4 / - 6 / -

After incorporating parts of the dissolved NVA , two divisions were reorganized in the accession area. The later 13th and 14th Panzergrenadierdivision , initially set up as a merged Division / Wehrbereichskommando (WBK) VII and Division / Wehrbereichskommando (WBK) VIII , should both receive anti-aircraft regiments corresponding to the first twelve divisions of the Army. As usual in this deployment phase, the regiments not yet assigned to NATO received a number based on the number of their military area. In the military area VII the flight Abwehrregiment 70 was, in the weir area VIII set the flight Abwehrregiment 80th

Regiments of the Corps

The anti-aircraft regiments 100, 200, 300 and 600 were subordinate to the I. Corps , II. Corps , III. Corps and LANDJUT . Analogous to the numbering of the corps troops , the regiments were given the numbers 100, 200, 300 according to the number of the corps. For the fourth regiment, on the other hand, the 600 numbers usual for LANDJUT were assigned.
