history

Internal association badge

The Bundeswehr Central Medical Service, which was established in 2000, required a management structure. Corresponding to orders and tasks that are comparable to the army , air force , navy and armed forces base , the two-pillar model with a command command (medical command) and a specialist office ( medical office ) was chosen for this organizational area .

Commander

The first commander of the medical command, which was stationed in the Rhine barracks in Koblenz , was General Oberstabsarzt Erich Wolfgang Bick since it was set up on July 3, 2001 in Bonn . He was followed on December 18, 2007 by General Chief Staff Officer Jürgen Blätzinger , who was retired on April 1, 2011. Due to the expected restructuring as part of the realignment of the Bundeswehr , the post of commander was not filled. The command was led by the deputy commander until it was disbanded.

Deputy Commander SanFüKdo was Ingo Patschke on September 27, 2006 . He was followed on September 21, 2011 by Detlev Fröhlich .
