The supply command 2 was one of the supply commands of the army of the Bundeswehr . The headquarters were in Ulm . The supply command was part of the corps troops of the II Corps .

assignments

The replenishment command bundled the units of the supply force at the corps level . The task was to provide logistical support for corps troops of the II Corps. The subordinate divisions and brigades led their own units of the supply force; Depending on the situation , the supply command supported these subordinate units . The corps depots operated by the replenishment command served as material stores and transhipment stores. From the depots, the supply command supplied units of the corps with defense material . In addition, the depots of the territorial army operated by the supply commands 850 and 860 were an important part of the permanent depot organization of the army in southern Germany . Some of the depots were also mobilization bases , where the defense material for the inactive equipment units of the army was stored in the event of a defense .

In peacetime around 1989, the replenishment command consisted of only around 2,100 active soldiers. In the case of defense , the supply command could after mobilization by the convening of reservists to around 4,500 men grow up . All in all, the size of the supply command after mobilization was roughly the size of one of the brigades of the field army.

Around 1989 the replenishment squad was roughly divided into:

history

The supply command was set up in 1972 to capture Army Structure III in the Wilhelmsburg barracks in Ulm . For the repair as the second pillar of logistics in the corps, the "sister association" repair command 2 was planned.

After the end of the Cold War , the supply command was decommissioned in 1993 at about the same time as the reclassification of the II Corps to the II (German-American) Corps .

Association badge

Internal association badge of the staff / staff company

As part of the dependent corps troops, the replenishment command did not have its own association badge due to its planning . The soldiers therefore wore the association badge of the higher corps.

As a "badge", the internal association badge of the staff and the staff company " pars pro toto " was sometimes used imprecisely for the entire replenishment command. It showed the federal eagle similar to the badge of the II Corps, a stylized railway wheel and a stylized road or railway line similar to the tactical symbol of the supply troops on the blue weapon color of the troop type.
