A soldier who does guard duty is placed under a guard superior.
In the Bundeswehr , the watchkeeper and the deputy watchkeeper receive their powers as superiors for the special task area of "taking over the security service". The required ranks for the security personnel (officer from the security service, watchkeepers, security teams) are defined in the “special security instructions” for the location.

These in turn are informed about the entry into force of the security-specific regulations. The temporary subordination is carried out with the final pronouncement of the command “gattering” by the guard superior.
