The Air Movable Brigade 1 (LBwglBrig 1) was a brigade of the German army with headquarters at the Fritzlar airfield in northern Hesse . It was subordinate to the former Air Mobile Operations Division (DLO). The units of the brigade were divided between the federal states of Lower Saxony , Hesse and Bavaria . Parts of the brigade were classified as intervention forces.
assignment
The brigade combined forces of airborne infantry and army aviators for air transport, fire support and independent airborne fire fighting . The brigade command planned, prepared and led forces in the context of airmobile operations after air landing . The brigade could be used in the context of operations by the intervention forces or the stabilization forces. She supported special forces and the former Special Operations Division (DSO) in Personnel Recovery and Combat Search and Rescue operations (CSAR). In addition, the infantry forces of Jägerregiment 1, as airmobile forces, were able to carry out initial operations without the support of additional mechanized and armored units until they were separated from the brigade .
Association badge
The association badge showed an eagle swooping down on a silver background with its wings stretched upwards, thus showing part of the symbolism of the DLO association badge. The coat of arms, as is usually the case with division coats of arms, was framed by a silver cord with black thread woven into it.
history
The brigade as a major organization of the crisis reaction forces was officially recognized as Air Mechanized Brigade 1 in 1995 as part of the restructuring of the Bundeswehr to the " New Army for New Tasks " with the help of the Armored Grenadier Brigade 5 from Homberg (Efze) and the Army Aviation Force Fritzlar put into service. It was subordinate to the IV Corps in Potsdam and had a peacekeeping strength of 3300 soldiers who were stationed in Fritzlar, Faßberg , Celle and Cottbus . Initially, the brigade only had anti-tank helicopters Bo 105 PAH 1 and multi-purpose helicopters of the type Bell UH-1 D.
As of 2002, the brigade was part of the Air Mobile Operations Division (DLO).
The brigade later took part in missions abroad and in operations in the context of disaster relief and humanitarian aid. In 2007 the brigade was strengthened by the Jägerregiment 1 and renamed "Luftmobile Brigade 1". The new name clarified the development from a support brigade to a highly mobile combat brigade. The strength of the brigade at that time was about 4,500 soldiers.
The 1st Jägerregiment was spun off again in December 2012 and placed under the armored brigade 21 .
Decommissioning
As part of the realignment of the Bundeswehr , the brigade was decommissioned on December 17, 2013 in Fritzlar. At the same time, the remaining helicopter formations of the Army, the 10th transport helicopter regiment in Faßberg , the 30th transport helicopter regiment in Niederstetten with the NH90 transport helicopter and the 36 combat helicopter regiment in Fritzlar with the Tiger combat helicopter , were subordinated to the Rapid Forces Division (DSK) in Stadtallendorf . The combat helicopter regiment 26 in Roth was decommissioned on December 31, 2013.
