support command on duty: "indispensable strips"

In Bonn, the Bundeswehr support command was officially put into service. Under the presence of Minister Pistorius and General Inspector Carsten Breuer, this command includes 750 soldiers who will tax the entire support logistics of the Bundeswehr from Bonn. This reform is intended to increase the effectiveness through the centralization of support forces and create synergies.

The new structure combines the forces of the dispute base as well as additional units, such as the wax battalion and the planning office of the Bundeswehr. The first commander, lieutenant general Gerald Funke, emphasizes that this step is crucial to react to the increasing requirements of the Bundeswehr, especially with regard to logistical support for larger quotas. The challenges that arise from the increased operational readiness should also not be underestimated, especially in view of the required flexibility and reliability.

Before commissioning the support command, the commands were dissolved in dispute base and central medical service. General Breuer paid tribute to both commands, but emphasized that the change of staff did not reduce the importance of their preparatory work. Many successes and missions, including humanitarian aid and support during crises, were achieved through their work.

The support command has been completely operational since April 1 and will act as a central unit in the future. The aggregation of these support forces enables the Bundeswehr to plan and carry out targeted missions. This reform represents a significant step in the context of comprehensive structural changes in the Bundeswehr, which were initiated by the "Osnabrück Erzet".

The organizational realignment is intended to ensure that the necessary resources are available for missions at all times. With this adaptation, the Bundeswehr not only faces new challenges, but also before the opportunity to adapt more effectively to future scenarios and thus to maximize their operational readiness.
