The list of the military units of the Military Police of the Army of the Bundeswehr contains all resolved battalions of military police troops of the Army of the Armed Forces and an overview of their time of preparation, the stationing of places that allegation, and the resolution or renaming.

It only includes the units prior to 2002, when the unit moved from the army to the armed forces base .

Numbering convention

From Army Structure II to Army Structure IV (around 1990) the numbering of the military battalions (FjgBtl) note 1 of the Army was based on a stringent convention. The second digit of the designation was usually used to identify the subordination of the battalion or company to the respective military area command . Battalions with numbers rounded to 10 were active battalions, all others were made up of equipment units . For example, the field hunter battalions 7 5 0 and 7 5 1 were subordinate to the military area command V as an active battalion or as equipment units . 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 dissolved National People's Army into the Bundeswehr 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. 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.

Units and associations

The military police force of the Army of the German Armed Forces was divided into military police battalions and military police companies until 2013. After switching to the armed forces base , it was subdivided into three Feldjäger regiments 1 , 2 and 3 with the associated Feldjäger companies under the command of the Bundeswehr military police.
