In 2015 Dieter Weingärtner wrote: “The military constitution [...] does not form a separate section in the Basic Law. Rather, the provisions that affect the Bundeswehr are divided into various articles that are scattered across almost the entire constitutional text.

Apart from this, the military constitution has remained practically unchanged since 1956. "
