The investigation center has been under the Strategic Reconnaissance Command since the beginning of 2002, before that under the Bundeswehr Intelligence Office . Until July 2013 the barracks of the investigating body was called General Hüttner Barracks .

In March 2019, 53-year-old Colonel Torsten Grefe took over command from Colonel Norbert Reineke, who had headed the investigative body for almost 15 years. The head of the investigation center is also the site elder . On the occasion of the handover of command, the investigation center was awarded a troop flag and a banner for the first time .
