The Medical Command 2 was one of the medical commands of the Army of the Bundeswehr . The headquarters were in Ulm . The medical command was part of the corps troops of the II Corps .
assignments
The medical command bundled the medical troops of the army at the corps level . The task was primarily to provide medical care for the soldiers of the corps troops of the II 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 2200 soldiers corresponded to about 50% of the size of one of the brigades of the field army.

history
The medical command was set up in 1972 to take over Army Structure III in the Wilhelmsburg barracks in Ulm .
After the end of the Cold War , the medical command was decommissioned in September 1993 at around the same time as the II Corps was reclassified as the II German-American Corps. Parts were used to set up medical brigade 2 in Ulm. After the establishment of the Central Medical Service of the Bundeswehr and the simultaneous dissolution of Medical Brigade 2 around 2001, Medical Command II with staff in Oranienstein Castle in Diez was planned, but despite the name it was not in the direct tradition of the original Medical Command 2.
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 coat of arms of the Hohenzollern and the Staufer Löwen as in the large coat of arms of Baden-Württemberg , the Red Cross , the coiled snake over a pharmacist's bowl similar to the career badge for pharmacists on the blue weapon color of the medical service .
