history

History of the first logistics brigade 1

prehistory

After the end of the east-west conflict , the structure of the logistics troops was changed to take over the army structure V and V (N). A large part of the supply and repair troops in the West German field and territorial army was previously divided at the highest level into supply , repair and supply commands. The West German corps , as corps troops, led the supply and repair commands. Similarly, the territorial commands also had at least one directly subordinate supply command, each uniting repair and replenishment in one unit.

In the new structure, the bulk of the units of the logistics forces of the field and territorial armies listed above - insofar as these have not been decommissioned - have been combined in newly set up logistics brigades . The medical brigades and command support brigades in the corps were set up according to a similar principle . These merged large formations of a new type combined units and tasks of the previous field and territorial army. Only in the event of a defense would the associations probably have been separated again. It was planned to assign a logistics brigade to each of the three planned corps / territorial commands. The new logistics brigades to be set up were numbered accordingly:

Logistics brigade 1 for the planned I. Corps / Territorial Command North

Logistics Brigade 2 for the planned II Corps / Territorial Command South

Logistics brigade 4 for the IV. Corps / Territorial Command East , which was newly established after reunification in East Germany , which was initially called the Corps / Territorial Command East. Accordingly, Logistics Brigade 4 was initially referred to as the Logistics Brigade East .

Ultimately, the merged corps / territorial commands were not set up in West Germany . However, the establishment of the logistics brigades at the corps or at the corps / territorial command east was retained.

Lineup

Logistics brigade 1 was set up in Lingen in 1993 . Some of the troops, parts of the personnel and material of the northern German logistics associations, replenishment command 1 , repair command 1 , and supply commandos 600 and supply commandos 800, which were disbanded around the same time, were used. In particular, the headquarters of the Supply Command 800, which is also based in Lingen, formed the nucleus for the establishment of Logistics Brigade 1. Logistics Brigade 1 was initially subordinate to the 1st Corps and until 1996 switched to the Army Support Command . In 2002 the logistics brigade was placed under the command of the Army Command .

resolution

The logistics brigade was dissolved by 2003. Parts were used to set up the logistics brigade 100 , which took over some of the logistics tasks in the northern part of Germany from the logistics brigade 1 at the top level of the army .

History of the second logistics brigade 1

The second logistics brigade 1 headquarters in Delmenhorst was part of the military area command 1 of the armed forces base . It was installed in 2006 and decommissioned in 2015.

Association badge

Association badge of the first logistics brigade 1

Unlike most other brigades in the Army, the logistics brigade did not have its own association badge . The soldiers therefore wore the association badge of the superordinate large association .

As a "badge", the internal association badge of the staff and the staff company " pars pro toto " was sometimes used imprecisely for the entire logistics brigade. Similar to the Lingen city arms, it showed three towers . The color of the shield corresponded to the blue weapon color of the army logistics troops . Overall, the internal association badge was very similar to the internal association badge of the staff of the predecessor supply command 800, which was also based in Lingen .

Association badge of the second logistics brigade 1

The internal association badge of the second logistics brigade was divided into four . Similar to the Delmenhorst city coat of arms, it showed a tower in front of a wavy ribbon , a Viking ship similar to the internal association badge of the Defense Division I , the beret badge of the supply troops on blue and white diagonal stripes as in the internal badge of the staff of the first logistics brigade 1 and a winged anchor as a free interpretation of one Wing staff with crossed sabers .

Remarks

↑ A logistics brigade 3 was possibly also initially planned, but it was decided early on to discontinue the III. Corps . This meant that there were no plans for a possible logistics brigade 3 .
