About this user

This channel is dedicated to the German Armed Forces.

When the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in 1949, it was without a military.
After the project for a European Defence Community failed in the French National Assembly in 1954, France agreed to West German accession to NATO and rearmament.

The Bundeswehr was officially established on the 200th birthday of Scharnhorst on November 12, 1955.

During the Cold War the Bundeswehr was the backbone of NATO's conventional defense in Central Europe. It had a strength of 495,000 military and 170,000 civilian personnel. The Army consisted of three corps with 12 divisions, most of them heavily armed with tanks and APCs. The Luftwaffe owned significant numbers of tactical combat aircraft and took part in NATO's integrated air defense (NATINAD). The Navy was tasked and equipped to defend the Baltic Approaches, to provide escort reinforcement and resupply shipping in the North Sea and to contain the Soviet Baltic Fleet.

After reunification of Germany in 1990, the Bundeswehr was reduced to 370,000 military personnel in accordance with the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany between the two German governments and the Allies (2+4 Treaty). The former East German Nationale Volksarmee (NVA) was disbanded, with a portion of its personnel and material being absorbed into the Bundeswehr.

Since the early 1990s the Bundeswehr has become more and more engaged in international operations in and around the former Yugoslavia, and also in other parts of the world like Cambodia or Somalia. After September 11, 2001, German forces were employed in most related theaters except Iraq.

Today 185,000 soldiers serve in the German Armed Forces. The combat forces of the Army are organized into three combat divisions and participate in multi-national command structures at the corps level. The Air Force maintains three divisions and the Navy is structured into two flotillas. The Joint Support Service and the Central Medical Services are both organized in four regional commands of identical structure. All of these services also have general commands for training, procurement, and other general issues.
The Bundeswehr in general is among the world's most technologically advanced and best-supplied militaries.

According to the new threat scenario facing Germany and its NATO allies, the Bundeswehr is currently reorganising itself. To realise growth in mobility and the enlargement of the air force's capabilities, the Bundeswehr is going to buy:

*140 multi-role combat aircrafts, type "Eurofighter Typhoon"
*40 military transport aircrafts, type "Airbus A400M"
*40 attack helicopters, type "Eurocopter Tiger"
*80 multi-role military helicopters, type "NH 90"
*5 unmanned aerial vehicles, type "RQ-4E Euro Hawk"
*350 infantry fighting vehicles, type "Puma"
*272 multi-role armoured fighting vehicles, type "Boxer"
*4 frigates/destroyers, type "F125 Baden-Württemberg class"
*2 more submarines, type "212a"
*39 more heavily armored military infantry mobility vehicles, type "DINGO 2 GE A3.3"
*1 more replenishment ship, type "Type 702 Berlin class"

The Bundeswehr is currently introducing its new land soldier system "Infantryman of the future". Despite the constant modernization of all weapon systems, the German Army has several projects under development:

*A new class of Joint Support Ships
*A new class of corvettes, type "K131"
*A multi-mission ship
*A new transport vehicle, type "Grizzly"
*A new Medium Extended Air Defense System
*A new very short-range protection system, type "MANTIS"

Since 1994, the Bundeswehr has lost about ninety troops in abroad deployments.

"I pledge to loyally serve the Federal Republic of Germany and to bravely defend the law and the freedom of the German people."
