The defense district command 36 was a defense area command of the Armed Forces with the seat of the bar in Aachen . 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 Aachen . The location of the staff in Aachen was accordingly.

resolution

In the course of the municipal territorial reforms in North Rhine-Westphalia , the administrative district of Aachen was dissolved in 1972 and its territory was assigned to the district government in Cologne . Similarly, Defense District Command 36 was decommissioned. The defense district command 31 in Cologne took over the troops and orders in the defense entfallenen District 36th

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. The longest time of its existence, the defense district command subdivided derived from civil administrative divisions in defense circuit commands .

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 higher military area command III .

As a "badge", the internal association badge of the staff and the staff company " pars pro toto " for the entire defense district command was therefore used imprecisely at some of the other defense district commands . The internal association badges were only introduced as part of the uniform in 1980, clearly after the dissolution of Defense District Command 36 .
