history
In the course of a change in the organization of the Navy on October 1, 1974, the land-based telecommunications and radio reconnaissance forces and the land-based locating service, which had previously been subordinate to the North Sea and Baltic Sea divisions, were brought together in one command with the deployment order No. 195 . It was set up in Kiel and was subordinate to troops and operations to the fleet command in Glücksburg and economically to the large association of the Baltic Sea Division.
On March 31, 1995, the naval command service command was dissolved. As the successor organization, the flotilla of the naval command services (MFüDstFltl) was set up on April 1, 1995 (organizational order No. 266 -Marine- of January 30, 1995). At that time, around 1,600 soldiers and 600 civilian workers were serving in the association. The land-based telecommunications services with their facilities and the three fleet service boats of the Oste (class 423) were under her . At the battalion level the naval telecommunications section 1 in Glücksburg, the naval telecommunications section 2 in Sengwarden, the naval telecommunications staff 70 in Flensburg and at the company level the naval telecommunications group 30 in Rostock. The flotilla was dissolved on March 31, 2002, with some of the subordinate units being dissolved, while others switched to a new subordination ( armed forces base ).
tasks
The naval command service command was responsible for the land-based telecommunication service with telecommunication connection service, electronic warfare and telecommunication supply as well as the land-based location service of the navy. This included the operation of the telecommunication connections to the ships of the Navy at sea and between the naval offices on land. In addition, a coastal radar organization and several reconnaissance stations were operated with which the radio traffic of foreign armed forces could be recorded.
Organization and leadership
The naval command service command was led by a commander with the rank of sea captain and was subordinate to the fleet command.
The following associations were subordinate to him:
- Marine communications section 1
- Naval communications section 2
- Naval Telecommunications Staff 70
Telecommunications Sections and Telecommunications Staff 70 were units at battalion level , telecommunications groups and sectors were units at company level .
Marine communications section 1
