List of troop units of the Army Medical Service of the Bundeswehr
The list of units of the Army Medical Service of the Bundeswehr contains all dissolved, active and inactive (equipment units, cadreed battalions) associations and large units of the Army Medical Service as well as a brief overview of their time of deployment, 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 medical force, as well as their predecessors in the army, which was known as the medical force .
Introduction to the numbering conventions
From Army Structure II until around 1990, the numbering of the medical associations was based on 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.

Commands
The medical commands were commands in brigade strength at the level of the corps and the territorial commands . Each of the German corps ( I. , II. , III. Corps ) was assigned a medical command as part of the corps troops in Army Structure III . In the end, their designation resembled the number of the higher corps ( Medical Command 1 for the 1st Corps, Medical Command 2 for the 2nd Corps, etc.). In the territorial army, the corps-like territorial commands were each given a medical command with the typical numbers 800 ( Territorial Command North ), 850 ( Territorial Command South ) and 600 ( Territorial Command Schleswig-Holstein ).
