The defense district command 20 was a defense area command of the Armed Forces with the seat of the bar in Bremen . 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 District II assumed. In Army Structure II, it was initially called the Bremen site command . The Defense District Command 20 remained the site command for Bremen even after it was renamed. Based on the civil administrative structure , the defense district roughly corresponded to the state of Bremen (including Bremerhaven ). In addition to Defense District Command 10 and Defense District Command 46 , Defense District Command 20 in Army Structure II was the only Defense District Command whose area of command included an entire country . The location of the staff was the city of Bremen .
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 20 was subordinated to Defense Area I. Unlike most of the defense districts, however, its layout remained essentially unchanged. A district liaison command has been set up in Bremerhaven.
resolution
Defense District Command 20 was decommissioned in 2007. Some of his assignments were transferred to the newly established Bremen State Command and the subordinate District Liaison Command in Bremerhaven.
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 around 1989 as a (great) regiment or a (small) Brigade of the Army corresponded. The subordinate Heimatschutzregiment 72 "Hanseatisches Heimatschutzregiment" as well as several Heimatschutz companies formed the core of the infantry -oriented Heimatschutztruppe in Bremen around 1989 .
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. It was essentially a reference to the deployment of space left , the Coat of arms of Bremen with the key Petri on a Hanseatic red and white sign as in the flag of Bremen . On the right the internal association badge showed the federal coat of arms of Germany with the federal eagle on a black-red-gold shield.
