Parent unit
The base unit is that part of the troop or, in general, the service of a soldier in which the soldier fulfills his or her post .
The base unit thus corresponds to the “military home” of a soldier. In the troops pass the parent moiety is noted in the "troops belonging" section. As a rule, the unit leader of his home unit is the soldier's immediate disciplinary superior. For special assignments, for training, for deployment, etc., the soldier can (temporarily) be part of another unit and, for this purpose, be subordinate to another superior in terms of subject matter, sometimes also under disciplinary law; however, its parent unit usually remains unchanged for this period.
Recruits are often only transferred to the unit in which they are supposed to fill a post and for which they may be trained in special basic training (SGA) only after completing their basic training (GA) . In this context, the term parent unit, in contrast to its “AGA unit”, generally only refers to the unit to which the recruit is transferred. As a rule, the term does not apply to the training unit during the AGA.
