The defense district command 43 was a defense area command of the Armed Forces with the seat of the bar in Darmstadt . 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 commander in Military District IV assumed. Based on the civil administrative structure , the defense district roughly corresponded to the Darmstadt administrative region . The location of the Darmstadt staff was accordingly .
resolution
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. In Hesse, the defense district commands 44 and 43 were decommissioned and their command areas, which roughly corresponded to the administrative districts of Kassel and Darmstadt, were incorporated into the defense district 47 (previously roughly equivalent to the administrative district of Gießen ), which now extended its command area to the entire state of Hesse .
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 brigade of the Army corresponded. For the longest time of its existence, the Defense District Command was subdivided into subordinate Defense District Commands, derived from the civil administrative structure . Several homeland security companies , a homeland security regiment and several security battalions as the core of the infantry -style homeland security force were either directly subordinate to the defense district 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 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. Essentially, as a reference to the stationing area, it showed the colorful lions as figures similar to those in the coat of arms of Hesse and the lily similar to the Darmstadt city arms , as well as the Iron Cross as the national emblem of the Bundeswehr.
