The defense district command 10 was a defense area command of the Armed Forces with the seat of the bar in Hamburg . The main task of the command was the territorial defense in its defense district.

history

Lineup

The defense district command was to assume the army structure II in the 1960s as part of the Territorial Army deallocated and the commanders in the military area I assumed. Based on the civil administrative structure , the defense district roughly corresponded to the state of Hamburg . The location of the Hamburg staff was correspondingly . At the same time, the Defense District Command took on the tasks of a site command for the city of Hamburg. In addition to Defense District Command 20 and Defense District Command 46 , Defense District Command 10 in Army Structure II was the only Defense District Command whose area of ​​command encompassed an entire country .

Change to the armed forces base

In 2001 the territorial army was disbanded. The military area commands and defense district commands were subordinated to the newly established armed forces base . The defense areas and defense districts were fundamentally reorganized and their number reduced. The Defense District Command remained with the newly established Defense District Command I “Coast” . At the same time, Defense District Command 12 was decommissioned and its command area, which roughly corresponded to the part of Schleswig-Holstein south of the Kiel Canal , was incorporated into Defense District 10. Defense District 10 was one of the few transnational defense districts. The subordinate defense district commands were dissolved and some of its tasks were transferred to the newly established district liaison commands.

resolution

The Defense District Command was decommissioned in 2007. Some of his assignments were transferred to the newly established state commandos Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein as well as the subordinate district liaison commands.

structure

Like most units of the Territorial Army, the Defense District Command consisted of only a few active soldiers. Only in the case of defense , the defense district command could by the convening of reserve and the mobilization stored and civilian material to a troop strength increase , which is about a regiment of the Army corresponded. Until 2001, the Defense District Command was one of the smallest Defense District Command. The Defense District Command was not further subdivided into Defense District Commands . In 1989, unlike other defense district commands, hardly any units of the homeland security troops were subordinate to him . In Defense Area I, the General Command 41 led the majority of the units of the Homeland Security Force.

Association badge

The Defense District Command did not have its own association badge due to its planning as a predominantly non-active unit . The few active soldiers therefore wore the association badge of the superior military area 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 defense district command. The internal association badge, in the typical Hanseatic colors , essentially showed the Hammaburg as a reference to the stationing area as figures similar to the state coat of arms of Hamburg in front of the Iron Cross as the national emblem of the Bundeswehr .
