structure

Structure of the command

The command is stationed in the Löberfeld barracks in Erfurt in the Löbervorstadt district . For reasons of space, parts are also stationed in a rented office building in the north of Erfurt.

The staff of the logistics command, led by a colonel , comprises three departments, each in turn led by a colonel / sea ​​captain :

  • Chief of Staff
    • guide
    • commitment
      • LogFü / use / exercise
      • Material management
      • Maintenance and production / technical-logistic management (IHF / TLM)
      • Traffic / transport
    • planning

Subordinate troops

After the reclassification measures have been completed, the commander LogKdoBw will be subordinate to around 15,000 employees, and thus almost a third of the entire staff of the armed forces base, professionally and in terms of troops. The command area in the target structure thus includes roughly the same number of members as the German Navy . The LogKdoBw is in charge of all logistical forces of the Armed Forces Base (SKB):

history

US Major General John O'Connor and Major General Hans-Erich Antoni after signing a partnership agreement with the US 21st Theater Sustainment Command in March 2015

The logistics command was set up on January 15, 2013. The roll call took place in the Löberfeld barracks in Erfurt . The new command takes over the tasks of the disbanded logistics office of the Bundeswehr from Sankt Augustin . The Logistic Master Data Management (LogStamM) group was relocated from Sankt Augustin to Siegburg and then to Erfurt.

The logistics command of the Bundeswehr is one of three new SKB capability commands set up in 2013, alongside the command and support command of the Bundeswehr (since July 1, 2017 the information technology command of the Bundeswehr in the cyber and information space ) and the territorial tasks command of the Bundeswehr .

On March 5, 2015 , a memorandum of agreement was signed with the US 21st Theater Sustainment Command (21st TSC) based in Kaiserslautern, which also includes the Miesau Army Depot .

The motor vehicle department of the logistics command of the Bundeswehr was spun off on April 1, 2018 and set up as an independent center for motor vehicles of the Bundeswehr (ZKfWBw) in Mönchengladbach - Rheindahlen . As part of a solemn roll call, the ZKfWBw was put into service by Major General Volker Thomas on April 20, 2018.

For the installation of the LogBtl 163 in Delmenhorst, the Umschlagkompanie Land See from LogBtl 161 as well as the Luftumschlagkompanie from LogBtl 171 are used; The task is the logistical support of NATO units - "RSOM" (Reception, Staging and Onward Movement)
