The Sanitary Regiment 3 (SanRgt 3) is an association with a focus on the deployment, which keeps staff and material available for deployment to special foreign assignments in order to ensure the medical service during deployment. For this purpose, the staff for the foreign assignments is kept professionally qualified and ready for action.

history

Medical Regiment 3 was put into service on November 17, 2014 as the first of three operational regiments. In terms of personnel and material, it is essentially derived from the two traditional associations, Lazarettregiment 41 and Gebirgssanitätsregiment 42. As the only one of the new medical regiments, the medical regiment 3 is stationed at one location.

History of the Dornstadt site

On January 2, 1962, the first soldiers moved into the new "troop accommodation on the Lerchenfeld". The inauguration with a symbolic handover of the keys took place on June 21, 1963. More than 20,000 visitors took a look at the military property at the “Open House”. On June 12, 1965, it was given the name "Rommel Barracks". In the meantime, a “soldiers' settlement” with 128 apartments was built in Dornstadt . In the summer of 1965, many soldiers spent their first training area outside Germany: they went to Castle Martin in England. In the middle of 1971 the 1,600-strong Panzer Regiment 200 was launched. Two battalions were subordinate to him on site.

In mid-1972, the 200 Panzer Regiment presented “the most modern tank in the world”, the “ Leopard 1 A 2 ” and the Marder armored personnel carrier to the media and the public for the first time . Mid-70s pushed the 40 hectares large drum barracks at the limit of their capacity. It was expanded in the western part by 22 to 62 hectares for the equivalent of almost 50 million DM. The 1970s were characterized by construction sites on the property. New accommodation buildings, repair halls and a second farm building were built. At the beginning of April 1975, the 200 Panzer Regiment was reorganized into the 28th Panzer Brigade . The occupancy of the barracks rose to more than 2,100 soldiers and civilian employees. In 1978 one of the first driving simulators for tanks was put into permanent operation.

The political upheaval in the world also led to the dissolution of Panzer Brigade 28 in the spring of 1993. The main users of the property would now be logistics troops. The new house owner was the maintenance regiment 21, which in turn was reorganized into the logistics regiment 21 on October 1, 1996. In the SOMALIA crisis area, soldiers from the barracks took part in foreign missions outside of the NATO area for the first time in 1993 . This was followed by deployments of up to six months in Kosovo (KFOR) and Bosnia (SFOR).

In 2008, major infrastructural interventions began again in the property. The investment volume up to 2012 was almost 30 million euros. Two new accommodation buildings were built to replace the previously used and, for the first time, a shooting simulator for hand weapons. Structural adjustments led to reclassifications in the 21st logistics regiment. In 2002, this was renamed the 47th logistics regiment. A change of subordination from LogBrig 2 to Military District Command IV was made. The inactive LogRgt 22 with nearly 6,000 reserved reservists was dissolved. Participation in foreign missions became the rule. The main locations were: Herzegovina ( EUFOR ), Sudan ( UNMIS ), Georgia ( UNOMIG ) and Afghanistan / Uzbekistan ( ISAF / UNASAM). Since autumn 2009 "Boxer" training has been taking place on the newly introduced armored transport vehicles. Training on the Leopard 1 battle tanks has been discontinued. Around 1,300 soldiers and civilian employees are currently stationed in Dornstadt.

The realignment of the Bundeswehr led to the dissolution of the 47th Logistics Regiment in 2014. The main user of the property was now the Bundeswehr Central Medical Service . The new host was the 41st Lazarettregiment, which moved from the Hindenburg barracks in Ulm to the Rommel barracks in November 2013. The medical troops have been represented in the Rommel barracks with soldiers from the KRK Lazarett Ulm since 1997. After the liquidation of the KRK Lazarett Ulm and the reorganization of the deployment hospitals 411 and 412, these were reclassified to the third and fourth companies of the 41st hospital regiment. The amalgamation of the hospital regiment 41 in Dornstadt from November 2013 to October 2014 ended with the dissolution of the hospital regiment 41 and the reorganization of the medical regiment 3 on November 17, 2014. In the middle of 2016, the dissolution of the mountain medical regiment 42 in Kempten marked the growth of the medical regiment 3 completed with the formation of the sixth to ninth companies.

assignment

The Medical Regiment 3 (SanRgt 3), which comprises more than 900 soldiers in the 2020 target structure of the Central Medical Service of the Bundeswehr, is a task force that holds personnel and material available for deployment to special foreign assignments.

The main task is to provide medical services to the Bundeswehr in action. For this purpose, the staff for the foreign assignments is kept professionally qualified and ready for action. In the interaction of specialist staff, medical equipment and medical supplies, the soldiers in special foreign assignments are given medical care according to German standards.

The SanRgt 3 represents the complete rescue chain up to level 3 of a hospital, which corresponds in type, scope and quality to a supply at the regional hospital level in Germany. For this purpose, the subordinate companies are assigned various priority assignments according to their personal and material growth, in order to be able to do justice to a seamless mapping of the rescue chain.

In addition, the regiment is firmly integrated into the civil-military cooperation for southern Germany in order to act in close cooperation with the civilian actors in Germany as well, if necessary.

structure

The medical regiment 3 consists of a training and simulation center and nine companies. The staff of Medical Regiment 3 is used to manage these units. This consists of the regiment leadership, the staff department heads and the staff platoon.

Supply and support companies

The 1st and 6th companies , as so-called supply and support companies , are the service providers for the entire regiment. Starting with the provision of transport capacity for personnel and material, through the procurement of materials and their maintenance, as well as ensuring leadership skills through appropriate telecommunications and IT equipment, these companies are responsible for creating optimal framework conditions for the operational and operational capability of the treatment facilities for and on deployment abroad . Thus, all peripheral parts from the field laundry, through water supply and field kitchen, to the entire logistical supply of medicines of the treatment facilities are to be assigned to their respective areas of responsibility. As a result, they perform all the tasks of a classic staff and supply company with additional special tasks of the medical service.

Ambulance companies

The 2nd and 7th companies, as ambulance companies, ensure on the one hand the transport of the sick and wounded as well as the care of the patients and on the other hand they have the means to guarantee an initial emergency medical treatment in highly mobile rescue stations. For this purpose, they have the assistant staff, appropriate emergency medical material and protected and unprotected means of transport for patient evacuation and stabilization as well as rescue stations ready, which are staffed with appropriate emergency physicians in a foreign assignment. In Germany, the two companies are responsible for maintaining the technical competence of their medical staff as well as for the material readiness for action. The ambulance companies are therefore an important link on the way to treatment level 2 in the form of a rescue center.

Medical companies rescue center

The 3rd and 8th companies, as medical companies for the rescue center, keep personnel and material ready so that, if necessary, treatment level 2 can be mapped in the form of rescue centers. In these treatment facilities, comprehensive shock control, first emergency surgical interventions, limited further diagnostics and intensive medical treatment as well as general care for the sick and wounded can be carried out. For this purpose, the companies have tents and containers, which can be modularly expanded depending on the requirements in order to be adapted to the location and sustainable.

Medical companies deployment hospital

The 4th and 9th companies, as medical companies, provide the most diversified and, in terms of quality of results, the care of patients and wounded in Germany, corresponding to that of a local hospital. Clinical acute care begins in the operational hospitals, and it is here that in-patient specialist care for patients or wounded up to major operations takes place. In addition, the hospital has additional intensive care capacities and a nursing ward for up to 72 patients. Thus, the two companies represent the highest qualitative authority of medical treatment capabilities in special foreign assignments. In the case of serious and protracted disease and injury patterns, an air-supported strategic relocation of the soldiers to the home country to a Bundeswehr hospital is sought in order to advance clinical follow-up care. In advance of this, telemedicine is used to transmit the relevant data to the medical teams of the Bundeswehr hospitals in Germany to ensure the rescue chain is seamless. The equipment for this is kept available for deployment abroad.

Training and simulation center

The training and simulation center SanRgt 3 offers the paramedical business - professional training and continuing education and training for emergency paramedics and use paramedics or trained as first responders in use. In military training, among other things, tactical wound care is practiced during deployment and deployment preparation training is carried out in the context of conflict prevention and crisis management (EAKK). From 2017 (ELUSA) country of assignment unspecific training.
