Beret badge of the Bundeswehr

The list of troop units of the army logistics troops of the Bundeswehr contains all disbanded, active and inactive (equipment units, cadreed battalions) units and large units of the army logistics troops (or their predecessors, supply troops, repair troops, quartermaster troops and field warriors, etc.) as well as a brief overview of theirs Time of installation, stationing locations, subordination and their dissolution or renaming. The list also includes associations that are not entirely, but to a significant extent, made up of soldiers from the logistics force. The list therefore includes not only logistics associations, but also repair, transport, replenishment and repair associations and depot organization departments.

Introduction to the numbering conventions

From Army Structure II until around 1990, the logistic associations were numbered using a stringent numbering convention. During this time, the name could usually be taken directly from the subordination of the battalion or regiment. In the event of a change of subordination, reclassification, etc., the number has usually been consistently adapted, apart from exceptional cases. Conversely, during this period, associations with the same number cannot always be seen in the same line of tradition. After 1990 and the incorporation of parts of the disbanded National People's Army and the considerable reclassifications in the years after the end of the Cold War , this adjustment was often no longer made; the associations often kept their name by tradition. Your assumption can usually no longer be derived from your number. However, certain conclusions can be drawn about their origin and tradition. In the following, the system is presented according to the size of the associations. However, the following considerations on the system of the designation remain to be understood only as a basic concept, even for the period before 1990. In the case of troop attempts, in the formation and disbandment phase, etc., deviations from the rule are repeatedly encountered.

Repair commands

The repair commands were commands in brigade strength at the level of the corps . Each of the German corps ( I. , II. , III. Corps ) was assigned a repair command as part of the corps troops in Army Structure IV . In the end, their name resembled the number of the higher corps ( repair command 1 for the 1st corps, repair command 2 for the 2nd corps, etc.).

Resupply Squads

The supply commandos were brigade-strength commands at the corps level . Each of the German corps ( I. , II. , III. Corps ) was assigned a supply command as part of the corps troops in Army Structure IV . In the end, their designation resembled the number of the higher corps ( Supply Command 1 for the 1st Corps, Supply Command 2 for the 2nd Corps, etc.).

NschKdo 1	1972	Rheine	1994	was subordinate to I. Corps

NschKdo 3	1972	Diez , from 1993 Koblenz	1995	shelter III. corps

Supply commands

In the territorial army, the corps-like territorial commands received at least one supply command with the typical numbers 800 ( Territorial Command North ), 850 and 860 ( Territorial Command South ) and 600 ( Territorial Command Schleswig-Holstein ) in order to take Army Structure III . While the corps of the field army planned separate commands for repair and replenishment, the majority of the supply commands comprised both replenishers and repairers. In addition, the supply commands led the army repair works and depots (including, for example, the medical depots ) of the army.

Further logistics facilities and logistics associations in the army

The facilities related to fuel logistics, especially the NATO pipeline , were mostly managed by the pioneer troops. The pioneer troops also included the river pioneer ferries.

The medical troops had extensive transport capacities to transport the wounded by road and rail .

In addition to its own extensive repair units for its aircraft, the Army Aviation Troops have transport helicopter regiments or similarly designated units or units that are similarly capable of air transport.

The Bundeswehr's field post is a special area of logistics .

In addition, almost all branches of the army had their own supply and support companies .

Further logistics facilities and logistics associations of the Navy and Air Force

The air force and the navy have not defined any military groups, and accordingly do not have a logistics force or the like, but have comparable logistics associations for supply on land, on water and via air transport.

For the Navy, for example, compare:

For the air force:
