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 VI . Based on the civil administrative structure , the defense district roughly corresponded to the (government) district of Upper Bavaria . The location of the staff in Munich was accordingly .

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” . In contrast to the other defense district commandos in Bavaria , the layout of the defense district remained essentially unchanged. 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 assignments were transferred to the newly established Bavarian 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 was subdivided into Defense District Commands derived from the civil administrative structure . The core of the infantry -style homeland security force were the homeland security regiment 86 " Altbayern " , which was directly subordinate to them, and the homeland security companies subordinate to the defense district commands .

Association badge

Internal association badge of the staff / staff company

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 headquarters company badge.

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. As an indication of the stationing area, the internal association badge was similar to the coat of arms of the Upper Bavaria district. Instead of the crowned Palatinate lion from the district coat of arms, the blue panther from the Bavarian state coat of arms is shown in the internal association badge . The Bavarian diamonds are taken from the district coat of arms unchanged.
