Subunit
A sub- unit (short: TE ; English sub-subunit ) is part of a military unit and thus a military group whose leader has no disciplinary authority .
Typical examples are the squad , the group and the platoon . Sub-units can in turn be subject to further sub-units. For example, trains usually consist of several groups and / or squads.

Sub-unit leader
The sub-unit leader (TEFhr) leads a military sub-unit. In the short oral form, they are usually referred to as TE guides . You are also responsible for the completeness, completeness and readiness of the material of your sub-unit.
The leaders of the sub-units that report directly to the unit are directly subordinate to the unit leader . If further sub-units are subordinate to a sub-unit, their leaders of the organizational structure are directly subordinate to the superordinate sub-unit leader; the disciplinary subordination relationships remain unaffected.

Individual evidence
- ↑ The number of personnel, for example in the case of independent trains, training trains, technical trains or sub-units of the Bundeswehr with a train structure, may vary significantly.
- ↑ A section with a group structure (for example: US Marine Corps, 8–12 people) can, in contrast to a "section" in the French armed forces, have a significantly lower staffing level.
