The logistics office of the Bundeswehr (LogABw) was founded on June 1, 1957 as the material office of the armed forces . From June 1958 to October 1997 the name was material office of the Bundeswehr . The location of the logistics office was Sankt Augustin , a secondary location was the Brückberg barracks in Siegburg . In addition, there were departments of the DVU-Log in Wilhelmshaven (logistics center of the Bundeswehr LogZBw) and Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler ( logistics center of the Army LogZH). The Army Logistics Center had been attached to the Army Office as Department V since 2008 , and was closed at the end of 2012.

organization

The head of office was most recently Brigadier General Franz Weidhüner . The office consisted of the armament / use department (Rü / Nu), the cataloging group (Kat), the logistic master data management group (LogStamM), the logistics data processing support department (DVU-Log) and the program organization standard application software product group -Families (SASPF) from SAP ( R / 3 ).

tasks

One of the tasks of the logistics office was the classification of products in a goods classification system, the NATO Codification System (NCS). In 2006, the office classified 30,000 NATO articles. These included both the truck and the gauntlet gloves for the Bundeswehr musicians. Examples were the modular medical facility , the protected transporters DURO / YAK and MULTI and areas of the SAR-Lupe , the first German satellite-based reconnaissance system. Unless there is a superordinate regulation, the logistics office has also assumed responsibility for materials for the Bundeswehr . In addition, the LogABw was the consumer authority for the national and multinational IT projects used in logistics (SinN), with the exception of systems linked to weapon systems. The DVU-Log administered 3,000 Bundeswehr computers around the world, including those used in missions abroad .
