The Defense District Command 31 was a Defense District Command of the Bundeswehr with the headquarters of the staff most recently in Düsseldorf . The main task of the command was the territorial defense in its defense district.
history
Lineup
The Defense District Command was planned to take over Army Structure II in the 1960s as part of the Territorial Army and subordinated to the Commander in Defense Area III . Based on the civil administrative structure , the defense district roughly corresponded to the administrative district of Cologne . The location of the staff in Cologne was accordingly .
extension
The defense district was enlarged around 1972 to include the area of the decommissioned Defense District Command 36 . The reorganization took place analogously to the dissolution of the administrative district of Aachen , which roughly corresponded to the defense district 36, and its incorporation into the administrative district of Cologne.
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 changed to the "new" Defense District Command II . At the same time, Defense District Command 32 was decommissioned and its command area, which roughly corresponded to the Düsseldorf administrative district , was incorporated into Defense District 31. The staff moved first to Hilden , later to Düsseldorf . 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 orders were transferred to the newly established North Rhine-Westphalia regional command and 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 brigade of the Army corresponded. For the longest time of its existence, the Defense District Command, derived from the civilian administrative structure, was roughly divided into subordinate Defense District Commands with subordinate Homeland Security companies as well as a directly subordinate Homeland Security Regiment and a directly subordinate security battalion as the core of the infantry -style 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. It was until 2001 mainly as a reference to the deployment of space as figures to Cologne Cathedral in front of the outline of the district of Cologne. After the incorporation of Defense District Command 32, the internal association badge was changed. In addition to the cathedral, it now showed the stylized Rhine similar to that in the coat of arms of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Bergische Löwen similar to that in the Düsseldorf coat of arms . The head of the shield shows the three crowns known from the Cologne coat of arms and the eleven tears.
