- Medical Command 1 , headquarters of the staff in Münster , subordinate to I. Corps
- Medical Command 2 , Ulm , II Corps
- Medical Command 3 , Koblenz , III. corps
The medical commandos of the field army were disbanded between 1989 and 1993 after the end of the Cold War and in the course of the decommissioning or reorganization of the corps .
In the territorial army
In the territorial army , beginning in 1969, the following medical commands were planned to take over Army Structure III :
- Medical Command 600 , Neumünster , Territorial Command Schleswig-Holstein
- Medical Command 800 , Mönchengladbach , Territorial Command North
- Sanitary Command 850 , Mannheim , Territorial Command South
Analogous to the development in the field army, the last medical command in the territorial army was decommissioned until 1994.
Realignment in the armed forces base
The medical commands I to IV were set up with the restructuring of the medical service of the Bundeswehr due to the Bundeswehr reform on October 1, 2001. With a few exceptions, they have acquired almost all medical services for all branches of the armed forces and have therefore been responsible for the medical care of soldiers in the German armed forces in Germany and, above all, in missions abroad.

Remarks
- ↑ a b Note: The medical commands did not have any association badges . Instead, the internal association badges ("breast tags") of the headquarters company, which were introduced in 1980 and were last worn, are shown here. The internal association badges shown were mostly only worn by the soldiers on the staff and / or in the staff company . The internal association badges shown here were often used pars pro toto as a “coat of arms” for the entire medical team. As an association badge ("sleeve badge" of the service suit ) the soldiers of the medical commandos wore the association badge of the higher corps. The departments subordinate to the medical commands mostly had their own internal association badges.
