assignments

The replenishment command bundled the units of the supply force at the corps level . The order was the logistical support of corps troops of the III. 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.

history

Headquarters from 1993: the Koblenz Rhine barracks

The supply command was set up in 1972 in the Freiherr-vom-Stein barracks to take over Army Structure III in Diez . For the repair as the second pillar of logistics in the corps, the "sister association" repair command 3 was planned.

In 1993 the staff was transferred to the Rhine barracks in Koblenz .

After the end of the Cold War , the replenishment command was in October 1995 around the same time as the III. Corps decommissioned.

Association badge

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 a stylized railway wheel similar to the tactical symbol of the supply troops on the blue weapon color of the troop type, as well as the red bar cross of the Trier bishops and the golden crown of the Queen of Heaven similar to the Koblenz city coat of arms , as well as the leopards of the Counts of Diez like them in the right field are represented in the city arms of Diez.
