The supply command 600 was one of the supply commands of the territorial army in the army of the Bundeswehr . The headquarters were in Flensburg . The supply command was subordinate to the Schleswig-Holstein Territorial Command.

assignments

The supply command bundled the units of the repair and supply troops at the level of the territorial command . While in the field army at the level of the corps the repair and the supply were organized in separate units (three repair and supply commands each ), it was decided in the territorial army at the level of the territorial command to concentrate the forces in the supply commands.

A secondary task was the disposal of ordnance , which outside of Schleswig-Holstein was mostly the task of the repair teams .

In peacetime around 1989, like almost all units of the territorial army, the supply command consisted of many non-(fully) active units. In peacetime the supply command was assigned around 2500 soldiers and 1000 civilian employees . In the case of defense , the supply command could after mobilization by the convening of reservists and service commitment of civilian employees to around 5,000 men grow up . Overall, the size of the supply command after the mobilization corresponded to the size of one of the brigades of the field army.

structure

Around 1989 the supply command was roughly divided into:

  • Internal association badge Staff / Staff Company Supply Command 600, Flensburg
    • Internal association badge Transport Battalion 610 (cadre), Heide
    • Internal association badge Supply Battalion 610 (cadre), Seeth
    • Internal association badge Resupply Battalion 620 (GerEinh), Süderlügum
    • Internal association badge Repair Battalion 610 (partly active), Flensburg
    • Internal association badge Resupply Training Center 600, Heide
    • Internal association badgeRepair training company 605, Boostedt (in peacetime to repair battalion 610)
    • Internal association badgeResupply Training Company 607, Seeth (in peace to Supply Battalion 610)

In peacetime the Husum Field Replacement Battalion 610 (GerEinh) was also subordinate to the Territorial Command.

Note: The main equipment depots were in Glinde , Ladelund , Silberstedt . The main ammunition depots were in Boostedt and Löwenstedt . A medical depot was set up in Bramstedtlund .

history

The supply command was set up on the base in Flensburg - Mürwik from 1970 to take over Army Structure III . The Flensburg Army Supply Leader's office was used for the installation.

After the end of the Cold War , the supply command 600 was decommissioned in 1994 around the same time as the Schleswig-Holstein territorial command was dissolved.

The small barracks of the supply command 600 in Swinemünder Straße 13, which was vacated in June 1994 and consisted of four buildings, has been demolished since 2011. The staff building of the supply command from 1943 was also torn down. The demolition was justified by the city at the time with the fact that the cultural monument would not appear in urban planning and thus would not affect the cityscape. A senior citizens' center with 80 German Red Cross residential units was then built on the cleared area . The company building from 1965, which was initially not demolished and originally served as crew accommodation, was to be expanded according to the original plans to become the service building of the DRK complex. This did not happen, it was also demolished to expand the residential complex.

Association badge

The supply command did not have its own association badge due to its planning as part of the dependent units, which were directly subordinate to the territorial command, analogous to corps troops . The soldiers therefore wore the association badge of the higher-level territorial command.

As a "badge", the internal association badge of the staff and the staff company " pars pro toto " was sometimes used imprecisely for the entire supply command. The shield of the internal association badge was primed in the state colors of Schleswig-Holstein . In the middle field, similar to the beret badge of the repair troops, it showed a gear wheel as an indication of the mechanical systems to be repaired and an atomic model as an indication of the electronic systems to be repaired, as well as two seahorses as an indication of the area of ​​operation between the Baltic and North Sea . It also showed the caduceus ( caduceus ) in the lower field, similar to the troop badge for the supply troops . In the upper field it showed a Viking ship, once typical of the Cimbrian Peninsula, with a sail in the Danish national colors , which is similarly depicted in the internal association badge of the higher-level territorial command and symbolizes the cooperation with the Danish armed forces .
