The Defense District Command 51 was a defense area command of the Armed Forces with the seat of the bar recently in Stuttgart . 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 V assumed. Based on the civil administrative structure , the defense district roughly corresponded to the administrative region of North Württemberg (later: administrative region of Stuttgart ). The location of the Stuttgart staff was accordingly . In Army Structure IV , the staff moved to Ludwigsburg .
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 switched to the “new” Defense District Command IV “Southern Germany” . At the same time, Defense District Command 54 was decommissioned and its command area, which roughly corresponded to the administrative district of Tübingen , was incorporated into Defense District 51. Defense district 51 now roughly corresponded to the Württemberg part of Baden-Württemberg . The headquarters of Defense District Command 51 moved back to Stuttgart. 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 Baden-Württemberg state 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. Similar to the Ludwigsburg coat of arms and the internal association badge of the staff of the support command 5 , it showed the golden Reichssturm flag with the red armored and red tongued black eagle on the outline of the administrative district of Stuttgart and as a further indication of the stationing area the stag pole for Württemberg as in large coat of arms of Baden-Württemberg .
