The Medical Command 1 was one of the medical commands of the Army of the Bundeswehr . The headquarters were in Münster . The medical command was part of the corps troops of the 1st Corps .
assignments
The medical command bundled the medical troops of the army at the corps level . The order was primarily to provide medical services to the soldiers of the corps troops of the I. Corps in a main dressing station to be set up for this purpose . The subordinate divisions and brigades led their own units of the medical service; Depending on the situation , the medical command supported these subordinate associations . The reserve hospital organization was the backbone of medical service in the army in the event of a defense and was organized by the medical commands of the territorial army . In the rescue chain of the Bundeswehr , the medical command occupied a middle position between the rear (reserve) hospitals of the territorial army and the main training stations set up closer to the advanced combat troops . In addition to the ambulances of the ambulance battalion the medical command had several rail-bound ambulance trains which the inside of the rescue chain transportation of the wounded were able to ensure. A medical supplies company of the ambulance battalion operated a corps supply point for medical supplies as a logistical link between the medical depots of the territorial army and the subordinate medical associations . Therefore, the company was sometimes referred to as the " Bundeswehr pharmacy ". The commander of the medical command as the chief medical officer of the corps and the subordinate medical officers advised the commanding general on medical and military medical issues.
In peacetime around 1989, the medical command consisted of only a few active units and only a few active soldiers. Instead, the stored device only had to be made mobile in the event of a defense or confiscated by civil organizations . An essential element for the growth was the drafting of reservists , including in particular reserve medical officers. Overall, the size of the medical command after the mobilization with about 2500 soldiers corresponded to about 50% of the size of one of the brigades of the field army.
structure
Around 1989 the medical command was roughly divided into:
-
Staff / staff company Sanitätskommando 1, Münster
history
The medical command was set up in 1972 to take over Army Structure III in the Lützow barracks in Münster - Handorf .
Until 1986, some companies of the 110 medical battalion, which was still active at the time, were stationed in the Dutch Nassau Dietz barracks . This made the medical command one of the few departments in the Army with units stationed abroad.
After the end of the Cold War , the medical command was decommissioned in September 1993 around the same time as the 1st Corps was reclassified as the 1st German-Dutch Corps . Parts were used to set up Medical Brigade 1 with staff in Leer . After the establishment of the Central Medical Service of the Federal Armed Forces and the simultaneous dissolution of the Medical Brigades in 2001, Medical Command I was planned, but despite the name it was not in the direct tradition of the original Medical Command 1. Rather, only a few parts of Medical Brigade 1 were used to set up Medical Command I in Kiel ; several troop units were instead used to reorganize the rapid emergency medical service command .
Association badge
Due to its planning as part of the dependent corps troops, the medical command did not have its own association badge . 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 medical team. It showed the federal eagle similar to the badge of the 1st Corps, an Aesculapian baton similar to the beret badge of the medical troops on the blue weapon color of the troop type and the stylized view of the gable of the historic town hall of Münster .
